American Legion Post974

Post 974 is named in memory of SSgt. Guy E.

‘The Swamp’

The Post was originally located at 200 Old York Road in NewCumberland.  As membership grew, wepurchased our current location at 352 Marsh Run Road, also in New Cumberlandand have been here ever since.  We have,throughout the years, expanded our organization to include the LadiesAuxiliary, S.A.L., Legion Riders, and a Home Association.
