Wynkoop's Motel
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania

    At this point in time, I can't tell you very much at all about Wynkoop's Motel. The photograph seen below was taken sometime in the 1950s, (probably around 1954 or 1955 if I had to guess.)

Wynkoop's Motel, Shippensburg, PA

    There was a sizable contingent of Wynkoops living in the area in the late 1800s, descendants of Gerret [5] Wynkoop and the owners of this motel were probably members of that part of the family.

    I don't know whether this motel is still standing today or even if the Wynkoops still own it if it does. If anyone knows anything about this place I'd appreciate it if you would contact me at [email protected].

    I understand from a recent Guestbook message at Tracy Wynkoop's website that there are still a number of Wynkoops living in Shippensburg. Perhaps one of you could help me with a little background on this motel.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Chris

    I'd like to thank my brother, Geoffrey Wynkoop, for digging up this picture. It's much better than the original that you found. Nice job, Geoff.
