Philipsburg is home to a number of sites of historical interest, including the Rowland Theater (located on Front Street), the Union Church and Burial Ground (also known as the Mud Church, on Presqueisle Street), the Hardman Philips House, the Simler House (on North Second St), and Halehurst (located off Presqueisle Street near Ninth Street), thought to be a stop on the Underground Railroad, although no evidence to support this has been published. The Rowland Mansion, former home of U.S. Congressman Charles Hedding Rowland, suffered damage from a recent fire. It has since been repaired and reopened as a bed and breakfast. The Philipsburg Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999
