Ambler

Ambler is a borough in Montgomery County with a compact size of less than one square mile. The central area displays retail frontages with Victorian-era buildings and row homes tightly arranged along the main streets.

The settlement took on its present name in 1869 after Mary Johnson Ambler, who gained recognition for her heroic actions. Her rescue efforts during a major train accident made her a local figure worthy of the borough's new identity.

The theater venues in the center host regular performances that draw both residents and visitors for live entertainment. These gatherings form the social fabric where people from the community come together.

Parking is available at multiple locations throughout the borough with varying restrictions by time and day. Visitors should review the specific parking rules before choosing where to leave their car.

Every Saturday, a farmers market opens where locals and visitors meet regional producers face to face. The stalls display everything from fresh vegetables and seafood to artisanal coffee and small-batch goods.
