Hanover, Pennsylvania

Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm). The Hanover Shoe Farms are located west of Hanover on the Littlestown Pike (extension of Frederick Street). Harper D. Sheppard and Clinton N. Myers, who had rescued the Hanover Shoe Company from oblivion, had no grandiose plans when they formed the Hanover Shoe Stables in the early 1900s. It was H. D. Sheppard's son, Lawrence Baker Sheppard, that transformed the stables into the Hanover Shoe Farms, the world's leading and largest standardbred breeding establishment.
