Chartered in the rural town of Carlisle, Pennsylvania just days after the American Revolution ended in 1783, Dickinson College claims to be the first school established in the newly independent United States. Now considered among the state’s top liberal arts institutions, Dickinson has maintained a small, quaint campus defined by three leafy quadrangles, its beating heart a limestone Federal-style building designed in 1803 by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capitol.
