At the Jabebo Studio we make nature and science themed earrings for gift shops located in more then 200 museums and nature centers around North America. They are made with paperboard material from cereal boxes that we collect from our community. On the front of the dangling piece is a colorful image designed by us. On the reverse you can still see evidence of graphics from the cereal box used in their fabrication. Jabebo strives to celebrate biodiversity and to promote science and nature education. Our inspiration for these earrings comes from visiting nature centers, wildlife refuges, parks, gardens, museums and all kinds of other interesting locations. When there is a gift shop it always adds to the experience, especially because the discoveries there can be taken home. They are full of unique and educational items and we knew buying something was helping a good cause in some way. It was a big day for us the first time we took our earrings to a local nature center and they gave us an order for more. That was almost twenty years ago. Our business began back in the 1990’s when we began playing around with the idea of mismatched earrings and noticed that our school teacher friends, and their students, were drawn to the colorful images and narrative themes. Since then, the process evolved while we invented and discovered equipment that would help us produce more efficiently. The use of cereal box paperboard was one of the first innovations and seemed an obvious choice since we were creating the earrings with paper.

The Canoe Place Historical Society of Port Allegany, Pennsylvania was established in September 2008 by six very enthusiastic history buffs who decided it was time to have a way to pass on the valuable History of the region. The Society was formed for the purpose of preserving and displaying the history of Port Allegany and surrounding areas; also, for the education of future generations and to help research Family History. At first, meetings were held each month with various programs presented by local Historians. The biggest activity was sponsoring the Port Allegany Bicentennial Celebration in 2016. The most important ongoing project is the refurbishing of the old Union Cemetery in downtown Port Allegany. With the loss of many of the original, older members the Society has been quietly hanging on. Now with the advent of new, younger leadership the Canoe Place Historical Society hopes to be very visible as a focus for the Historical Preservation of the area for years to come.

We strive to bring you the highest quality of clothing at the most competitive prices. As the great Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." We would like to add "It is what one does with that acorn that creates a better tomorrow" to the end of that quote. Nate ,our founder, puts ink to the paper of this story with a vision he saw for a better tomorrow through clothing. As a outdoorsmen himself, Nate set out to combine his two passions, looking good and the great outdoors, whatever that activity may be. By providing things such as biodegradable packaging, and plantable clothing tags (which if you haven't heard, are basically the coolest idea ever:) ), we pay homage to our acorn logo by practicing what we preach. Along with this, Acorn Hills focuses on giving back to its community by taking the initiative to help revitalize forests and areas of land that fill this great place we call earth. With a percentage of our sales donated to charities and organizations such as the National Forest Foundation and others that align with these goals we create this better tomorrow. People have asked, "why choose clothing?" It's simple really, when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good...you DO GOOD! We just help you get there. Although Nate may have been alone when he started this, our roots now run very deep!

Moshannon Creek is a beautiful stream with often terrible water quality. Much of the main stream and some of the tributaries of Moshannon Creek are contaminated by mine drainage from abandoned coal and clay mines. Moshannon Creek's headwaters, and many of the tributary streams in the Moshannon Creek watershed, have clean water and wild trout populations. Our mission can be described very simply as protecting the clean water streams and improving the streams with tainted water. The Moshannon Creek Watershed Association achieves this goal with volunteer work sessions on treatment systems, applying for grants for the study and design of treatment systems, and maintenance agreements for a current set of treatment systems along Cold Stream Creek.

In some ways we are the successor organization to the Bootjack Snow Gliders who used to the maintain the Laurel Mill Ski Trails. We are best considered to be a 'friends of' group, working alongside Federal, State, and local agencies to improve recreation opportunities in the Allegheny National Forest and neighboring communities. As an IRS 501 (c) 3 Not for profit organization donations to support our work are tax deductible. In 2021 we entered into a partnership agreement with the US Forest Service to maintain and oversee the Laurel Mill Trail system. These trails have been neglected for over a decade and we are working to restore them, including resuming cross country ski grooming. These trails are open for hiking and cross country skiing. Forest Service regulations do not allow bicycles, but we are working with the Forest Service to allow bikes on some of the trails in the future. We are also working with Ridgway Township to develop mountain bike trails at the Township's Sandy Beach Park which borders the Allegheny National Forest. We hope that at some point in the future bicycling will be allowed on some of the Laurel Mill Trails and then the Sandy Beach mountain bike trails will connect to them.

Rocky Ridge Trading Company is aptly named. Cameron County lies just west of the center of Pennsylvania in a mountainous region of the Allegheny Plateau. At the logging site, the company is harvesting northern hardwood and red and white oak. Pennsylvania has the country’s largest concentration of hardwood, accounting for about 90 percent of sawtimber volume. The state has an overabundance of larger old-growth tree stands, many located in tough terrain. Successfully extracting large timber from these areas represents a great opportunity. It also demands innovative approaches that combine the best logging machines with the latest technology solutions. Steep-slope logging methods have been used successfully in the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand but have not been used in the Eastern United States until recently. Rocky Ridge is one of the first companies in Pennsylvania to employ a tethered, winch-assisted traction solution. “We’ve always been trailblazers,” says Crissman. “We do things our way, using combinations of machines other loggers would consider unconventional, like combining cut-to-length with full-tree equipment. But it has worked for us.” Tim Crissman’s father Gus formed the family company in 1964. Back then it was known as Crissman Lumber Company. “My dad had been in the forest products industry all his life,” says Crissman. “He started out with a sawmill and a few logging crews. Growing up, I’d help him with the business. I’ve done everything from running a headrig that makes the initial cuts in the sawmill to loading drying kilns. But our hearts were always in the woods, so we got back into the logging business.” During the summers when Crissman was in college, he’d run a skidder while his father hand-felled. “He didn’t want me to hand-fell at first because it was dangerous,” he recalls. “But he taught me everything I know about the woods and logging.” The most important lesson his dad taught him was to “work hard until you make it work.” “Failure was not in his vocabulary,” says Crissman. “You could always find a solution if you worked hard enough.” Gus acquired the nickname The Legend at a John Deere fly-in a few years ago. “Each night he’d share story after story about how things were done out in the woods in the old days,” recalls Crissman. “They were funny stories but had serious messages as well. After a couple nights, everyone started calling him The Legend.”

When surveyor Charles Treziyulny laid out the town of Philipsburg for the firm of John Leigh Philips and Brothers of Manchester, England, he neglected to make a provision for a burial ground. Circa 1803-04, George and Rosalie Shultz's infant daughter Sally died from the croup. The Shultz's buried her on their partially cleared out lot in the shade of what is now known as the "Founders Oak" which began its life circa 1640. The Shultz's gave other settlers permission to bury their loved ones in their "hallowed ground." Seeing the need for a community burial ground, Mr. Philips traded the Shultz's their out lot for ground in Decatur Township, Clearfield Co. where they lived for the remainder of their lives. Mr. Shultz is often referred to as one of the "original twelve settlers" of 1797. However, there were probably at least twenty-five men, women and children in the group of original settlers. Members of this original group buried here are: George Shultz (1761-1844); Rosalie Barth Shultz (1770-1842); Sarah Densel Simier (died 1822); and Lovinia Simler Turner (died ca. 1818). When you walk through the burial ground and see large gaps between tombstones, this space isn't empty. It's filled with unmarked graves. In fact, there are well over 500 people buried there. Due to its overcrowded condition, an ordinance was passed in 1872 prohibiting further burials because "almost without exception each new burial unearths some poor unknown soul." After 1872, burials were allowed only by special permission, usually in the case of a spouse already being buried there. The last known burial was John Hudson in 1907. In 1819 or 1820, a subscription was made that stated: "We the subscribers wish to have a house built which will answer the double purpose of a school and place of worship to be free for moral regular preachers of the gospel of all denominations." Area residents donated their money, time and materials and the building was erected on the burial ground lot. By an agreement of all citizens, the Methodists, having a greater membership than any other denomination, and likewise the only one that was regularly supplied with preaching, were accorded occupancy of the building on the Sabbath at 11:00 a.m. The time for evening worship was "by early candlelight." Many of the present wall sconces are relics from the original "Meeting House." Prior to the 1834 public school laws, no one was forced to attend school and teaching was provided through "subscription schools". Each student had to pay tuition and supply all their own books, paper, pencils, pen, etc. Children were only taught the three "R' s": reading, writing and arithmetic. In 1841, another subscription was made for the purpose of "repairing and improving" the church. The subscription stated: "The proposed improvements are calculated to require an expenditure of three hundred dollars, the roof is to be new shingled and tin spouts added, the outside of the Church to be rough cast, the inside and ceiling to be lathed & plastered, the gallery and inside porch to be removed and a new porch with two windows to be constructed outside, on the West end an addition to be made to contain the pulpit, communion table and a vestry, the body of the Church to be pewed, the belfry to be repaired and a bell added". The "gallery and inside porch" would today be called a balcony and a vestibule. The rough cast plaster is where the church derived its name "The Old Mud Church." Similar to the first subscription, area residents donated their money, time and materials to the project. Hardman and Sophia Philips are believed to have significantly influenced the final design. Mr. Philips' employees we're engaged to do much of the work. When the renovations were finished in the fall of 1842, the cost greatly exceeded the original estimate of $300. Although numerous people failed to make their promised subscriptions, the Philps' were blamed for making changes which were "unnecessary and uncalled for". For instance, "the outside porch with two windows" turned into a crenellated bell tower with hand carved finials. Also, the shape of the windows was changed to an intricate gothic design. The quatrefoils at the top of the windows are said to have been carved with a penknife by Samuel Burris, one of Mr. Philips' employees. Since Mr. Philips absorbed the cost of the overrun, he attempted to claim the church as a Protestant Episcopal Church. Perhaps his motivation was because two of his children are interred in the burial ground. Many local residents strongly opposed Mr Philips' plan and desired the church to remain free to all denominations. A third subscription was made to hire an attorney to fight Mr. Philips. After a long and tedious lawsuit, Judge Woodward considered the proceedings entirely unwarranted and because the judgment would irregular to both the plaintiff and defendant, he laid the case aside. The present appearance of the Union Church, both interior and exterior, most accurately represent the work of 1841-42. There have been no structural changes and the original flooring, window glass, pews, bell and brass whale oil lamps remain. The pews were built by Christian Emigh at a cost of $60. The church bell came from the Philipsburg Screw Factory, one of the first screw factories in the United States. Through the years, the Union Church continued to shelter the services of the Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans and worshippers of other denominations until the 1920s when the Free Methodists were the last to hold regular services there. In 1978, the Union Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of interior, Washington, D.C.

The Philipsburg Historical Foundation (PHF) is a museum and non-profit organization. The PHF was founded in 1956 by a group of concerned citizens intent on securing and preserving "irreplaceable treasures" connected with Philipsburg's history. The PHF's objectives are to educate the public about our rich history, to protect the structures and artifacts we have inherited from our forefathers, and to keep the memory of our rich past alive through the promotion of literature and events. The foundation welcomes the contributions of all people interested in the safekeeping of our cherished heritage.
The Simler House is estimated to have been built circa 1810 by Revolutionary War veteran John Henry Simler. The house features a typical tavern layout, with a kitchen and barroom downstairs, although there is no record of Simler having had a liquor license while he lived there. Accommodations for guests would have been on the second floor and attic. Simler sold the home in 1824 to Hardman Philips, youngest brother of town founder Henry Philips. Throughout the years, the house served at various times as a boarding house, a bakery, and a private residence. By 2000, the house had fallen into sad disrepair and was on the verge of being torn down when local philanthropist and Simler descendent Barabara Bezilla purchased the home to save it. In 2001, the house was restored in memory of Donald Simler by his wife. Ahead of the town’s 225th anniversary celebration in September 2022, Philipsburg Historical Foundation Curator Chris Watson spent several hundred hours researching and acquiring period furniture and accessories to make the Simler House a living history museum that gives people a better idea of what life was like when the Simlers lived there. Items of particular interest to modern visitors include a six-gallon bake kettle that would have served as the house’s oven; a bed warmer with perforations in a star-pattern that would have been filled with hot coals and used to heat up chilly beds before sleep; and a pipe box filled with clay pipes. The pioneers did not have the concept of germs that we do and would have shared the same pipes. Before the advent of box springs, feather or straw mattresses would have been supported by a grid of ropes strung around the bed frame, which can be seen on the beds. The Philipsburg Borough crew, under the direction of Borough Manager Joel Watson, built an authentic, two-hole log outhouse for the occasion out of salvaged trees and placed it on the Simler House property.

The Coalport Area Coal Museum is located in the large hallway of the Coalport Community Building at 961 Forrest Street in "Historic Coalport" (Beccaria Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania) Founded in 1991 through the efforts of the Coalport Area Museum Commission and the Glendale Industrial Development Association, our Museum was funded initially by contributions from the community, donations from businesses, and small grants. Thanks to the Coalport Borough Council, the museum was given a 'home' in its expansive corridors of the community building—itself the former Coalport Elementary School built in 1937. All of the artifacts in the Museum were donated by families of former coal miners who wished to have their memories preserved following our motto: To Enrich our Future by Preserving the Past. Most of the items on display are from the early hand-loading days of mining bituminous coal--for which our region was primarily known. The town's name of "Coalport"," incorporated as a borough in 1883, most likely derived from the main industry that was quite ubiquitous in our central Pennsylvania region. Our records show there were over 400 coal mines at various times in our Glendale Valley region of central Pennsylvania--know for its quality-burning bituminous coal. Although there are currently no deep mines, there are a few coal strip mines still operating in our area. Spoil piles of local mines still dot the region, and, among other places, can even be seen directly behind the Coal Museum. Heading north on Forest Street, there's a large space where the former "Sunshine Mine" existed—as Coalport was one of the very few communities which had a large working mine and tipple practically in the town center! Coalport is one of the five municipalities making up the "Glendale Valley" region and is located three miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park and Glendale Lake. In April 2000, Coalport's downtown section had the honor of being named to the prestigious National Register of Historic Places—with 53 original buildings helping the town earn that distinction.

Scott Kolesar of Spring Valley Maple produces his own syrup from a grove of sugar maples on his property in his “sugar shack.” Scott took 1st place in the Grade A - Amber Syrup in glass, 2nd place in Grade A - Dark Syrup in glass and 2nd place Grade A - Very Dark Syrup in glass at the 2023 Pennsylvania Farm Show with his maple syrup. The process starts with drilling a tap hole into a maple tree. A spout is inserted to direct the sap to either a bucket or into tubing that sends the sap to a large collection tank at the sugar house or a central collection area using a vacuum pump. From the storage tanks, the sap is often put through a reverse osmosis machine, which takes a percentage of the water from the sap before boiling. The evaporation process sends clouds of sweet maple scented steam billowing from the sugarhouse cupolas and steam stacks. An evaporator is where the boiling takes place. Stainless steel pans sit atop an arch, or firebox, where either oil or wood creates an intense fire. As the water in the sap evaporates, the sap thickens. When the thermometer in the pan reaches 219 degrees the syrup is ready to draw off. Even though it looks like the finished product it will still need to be filtered, adjusted for density and graded for flavor and color. Choose PURE MAPLE SYRUP, a natural sweetener and a smart food choice!

Armistead Wood Design is owned and operated by Matt Armistead in Bellefonte, PA, and produces custom, heirloom-quality furniture and other wood creations. I have always had a thirst to create and build. My interest in woodworking began when I was in high school on annual trips to visit family in Georgia where I was exposed to tools that I normally did not have access to and would spend hours in the shop. With a Bachelor's Degree in Athletic Training from the University of Delaware, and a Master's Degree in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine from Penn State University, I began my career as an athletic trainer. I worked with several athletic teams over my career, managing and rehabilitating their injuries. When downtime allowed (mainly winter and summer breaks) I would spend most of that time creating and building projects. As I have grown, learned, and created more, I decided that I would like to take my 'DIY' attitude of making items for our own home and share my craft with the world!

Hidden in the woods surrounding the town of Brookville, Pennsylvania is a story about a man, his triumphs, his hardships, his obsessions, and his deeply felt religious convictions. Many local legends abound about the mysterious carved Bible rocks frequently encountered in the wooded hillsides around Brookville, Pennsylvania. But what is the real story behind the rocks and the man who created them over 100 years ago? The Scripture Rocks Heritage Park is a free public hiking area maintained and operated by the Jefferson County Historical Society. Here visitors can explore 4.5 acres of a forested hillside on improved trailways that lead to 67 sandstone boulders engraved by Douglas M. Stahlman between 1910 and 1913 as part of his personal religious calling. It is the location of Altar Rock converted into an open air chapel for group worship and later the location of his live-in cabin wherein he penned his journal. The park also contains a small prehistoric Native American campsite and was the location of some mid-19th century quarrying and exploratory test diggings for possible mine development. Interpretative Panels located throughout the park present many aspects of nature and local history. We invite you to make plans to hike, explore and learn about a fascinating bit of Jefferson County History.

Originally it was a small diner, serving daily homemade soups, hand-pressed burgers, and a large selection of baked pies.

The masonry work was done by the Jacobs family from Castanea. Etchings created by hand are featured around the windows, and Craig Brady was commissioned for wood carvings all around the restaurant. The PA Room was added in 1991, providing a space for large family gatherings of up to 36 people. A visit to Restless Oaks has always been, and will always be, about family.

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle is comprised of 15 members whose task it is to protect and perpetuate the legend of the great weather-predicting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. The club was formed in the 1880’s, and as the legend of Punxsutawney Phil grew, so too did the ceremony that honors him every February 2nd at Gobblers Knob. The Inner Circle manages and hosts the festivities of Groundhog Day that culminate at 7:20 AM when they don their tuxedos and top hats to help bring Punxsutawney Phil from his stump so that he can tell the world if it will be an early spring, or if 6 more weeks of winter are ahead. Punxsutawney Phil’s prognostications have drawn the attention and praise of thousands of his faithful followers who now flock to Gobblers Knob each year from around the world. With so many of Phil’s fans now devoted to the celebration, the Inner Circle hosts additional events and gatherings throughout the week leading up to Groundhog Day, including the Groundhog Ball and the Groundhog Banquet. Phil and the club also travel throughout the world, visiting people who wish to meet Phil and find out more about his amazing popularity and regal stature. In the late summer, the club makes a Trek to Phil's Stump at Gobbler's Knob to feed him his “Elixir of Life”. The elixir is made from a secret recipe and provides Phil with the potion that has sustained his longevity and youthful good looks. While the Inner Circle acts as the keepers and protectors of Punxsutawney Phil, the Groundhog Club consists of many more wonderful members from around the world.

The Greater Renovo Area Heritage Park is an organization focused on uniting, preserving, and promoting the history and culture of the Greater Renovo Area. Where are you from, we are often asked. I’m from Renovo we say with a smile. And then the conversation begins… Imagine…there is this place… it’s remote, …quiet… almost too quiet for some… just off Interstate 80 smack dab in the middle of Pennsylvania. The minute you take the off-ramp… you’re in it. All around you are mountains carpeted in green in the summer and a blazing array of color in the fall. You’re taken in by the coolness of the air feeding out of the hollows of the hills as you travel north along the Bucktail Scenic Byway following the West Branch of the Susquehanna River … a well worn path traveled by the Lenni-Lenape and Iroquois, pioneers seeking fortune, and families looking to carve out a home in the wilderness. Along the banks of the river are cuts and scars left from the great log drives of the late 1800s when millions of white pine, spruce, and hemlock logs flooded the river in the spring on the way to mills in Lock Haven and Williamsport. Criss-crossing the river is today’s descendant of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad that was once home to the Flier… a passenger train that ran twice a day between Buffalo and Philadelphia stopping at towns just long enough to pick up business people, travelers, and families excited about a shopping trip in the big city. You are minutes away from a small town called Renovo. It is the hub of activity for people living in the villages and small communities that are tucked into the valleys and on tops of the hills of Western Clinton County.

We love all things local and were thrilled to have business, in our very small community (PA WILDS!) wanting to carry our product. Now, we are so excited to have the chance to bring our small batch, family tested and designed products to your doorstep!
For all your custom apparel print along with fatheads and custom decals.

He was overweight, he had lost his job, and he was in need of a serious life change. That’s when he decided to do something just about impossible: hiking the Appalachian Trail. But that wasn’t enough of a kick in the butt for Lloyd—he also gave up beer. As the ultimate motivation to meet his goal, he promised to swear off the hoppy goodness until he reached Mount Katahdin, and the finish line, in Maine. After months of preparation, Lloyd set off to Georgia to start his two thousand-mile trek. He couldn’t have known on that March night that six months later he would finish his journey a changed man, while making interesting friends, experiencing breathtaking vistas, penning trail ballads on his homemade ukulele, and surviving brown recluse spider bites along the way. An adventure story, inspirational tale, and guide to roughing it in the backcountry, Hiking to Beer is a funny and poignant read for outdoor aficionados, aspiring hikers, and everyone in-between.
