Established in 1792, this unique small town is famous for its roadside attraction—the Mars “Spaceship” or “Flying Saucer,” located in the town square, for some great photo opportunities. Visitors can enjoy fun “alien sightings” in the storefront windows and send mail from the post office to receive the unique Mars, PA postmark. The town is also home to the Mars Station, one of the few remaining railroad depots from the now defunct Pittsburgh and Western Railroad.
