Although the website is pitiful, the town is wonderful. I am a bit biased as this has been my home town for about 20 years. The town is just beginning a period of unprecedented new growth, but hopefully will retain it’s small town charm. Trappe’s claim to fame is that is the birthplace of Baseball Hall of Famer Frank “Home Run” Baker.
