A Valley With a
Long History
The history and heritage of the Juniata River Valley is traced to the Indians known as the “Ona Jutta
Hage,” the people of the Standing Stone, known today as the “Juniatas.” Shortly following the arrival
of the earliest traders, the Juniatas were vanquished in a war with the Mohawks. This opened the
doors to early white settlers who poured into the region, only to be driven away during the French
and Indian War. Following the war, many returned and thus Mifflin County was established in 1789.
The Juniata County area separated and became known as Juniata County in 1831.
Manufacturing and agricultural industry supported the growth and development of the region. In the
early 1800s the area produced what was reputed to be the finest iron in the world. Forestry became
the support of the thriving iron and leather tanning industries. Dairy, poultry and fruit were the area’s
agricultural staples.
Many historic locations exist and are meccas for visitors to
the region. Examples are the county courthouses in Mifflin
and Juniata Counties; covered bridges in Juniata County,
especially the 278 foot Academia Pomeroy Bridge near Spruce
Hill; The General McCoy House and Museum in Lewistown;
the restored Stone Arch Bridge at the southern entrance to
Lewistown; the Embassy Theater in downtown Lewistown;
the mile and a half restored Pennsylvania Canal at the Locust
Campground outside of Lewistown and the Tuscarora
Academy and Museum near Port Royal.

Doing Business
in the Valley
Both of our two counties have extremely active and successful Industrial Development Corporations.
The Mifflin County I.D.C. serves as landlord at the Industrial Plaza, leasing space for warehousing or
manufacturing. The Industrial Park is for construction of new facilities. They also offer space at the
Business Center on South Main Street in Lewistown. The MCIDC mission is stated as: “to promote the
growth of employment and income in Mifflin County by using technical and financial resources from
MCIDC and federal, state and local agencies and individuals to encourage and assist business and
industrial formation, retention and expansion.”
Juniata Business & Industry (JBI) states their mission as: “JBI is the County and State-recognized
Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) for Juniata County. The prime mission for JBI is to enhance
the economic and social well-being of Juniata County by fostering, developing and supporting efforts
to provide employment, attract business and industry, and generally to promote the improvement of
the attractiveness of Juniata County while remaining sensitive to the environment and to the retention
of the county’s rural character.” They serve as overseers of the Juniata County Industrial Park.
Lewistown Borough, the largest municipality in the Juniata Valley, likewise
includes the largest business district in the region. Downtown Lewistown,
the County Seat of Mifflin County, lists over 200 businesses, human service
offices and organization headquarters in its registry. The downtown has
undergone improvement in recent years aided by support from Lewistown
as a designated Pennsylvania “Main Street” Community. Following this
positive program lead, efforts are being expanded to an adjoining neighborhood aided through incentives available to the community as an official
Pennsylvania “Elm Street” Community. DuMor, Inc. a local site furnishing
manufacturer provided several benches for this effort.

Our region is served by two movie venues.
Miller Cinemas 6 on West Market Street in
Lewistown is a recently renovated theater
with six auditoriums showing first run
movies seven days a week. In Juniata
County just outside of Mifflintown, we
have the Midway Drive-In Theatre, operating seasonally. Our local theater group of
the past twenty-five years is the Stone
Arch Players. They operate out of their
own facility at the Derry Township
Community Park, producing three plays
per season. Due to the size of the theater
and the immense popularity of the group,
they put on each production several times.
Indoor recreation is a year round opportunity offered in Mifflin County in Burnham
at the YMCA. It offers a six-lane Olympic
sized pool, two full sized gyms, two racquetball courts, fitness center, shower
rooms, babysitting, physical therapy, aerobics and a climbing wall. In McAlisterville

COMMUNITY EVENTS
On the fourth Saturday of April each year, thousands of kids
assemble on the downtown Lewistown streets for a day of free
activities for children. Kid Connection relies on dozens of area
clubs and organizations to sponsor and man booths, providing
games, crafts and activities for the participants.
Each spring on the third weekend in May, the Mifflin-Juniata Arts
Council sponsors a juried two-day Arts Festival in Lewistown at
Rec Park. Vendors from all over the country join dozens of musical
performances, exceptional food offerings and school art displays
for visitors and local residents’ enjoyment.
The Saturday prior to the Fourth of July we draw full attention to the Juniata River with a
RiverFEST celebration on the river and at Victory Park in Lewistown, located on the banks of
the river. The day kicks off with a homemade raft regatta. The rest of the day features the
Juniata River Idol Contest, ten hours of rockin’ live musical performances, dozens of food
stands, a village of craft and merchandise vendors, loads of activities for kids, canoe and kayak
rentals and a magical fireworks display above the river at dusk.
Each September 29th the region celebrates Goose Day. Deeply tied to Saint Michaelmas Day,
residents must eat goose this day to ensure a year of good health and wealth. YBMC, an organization of young adults, sponsors a street fair in downtown Lewistown on either the Saturday
before or after the 29th and the Juniata Valley Area Chamber of Commerce sponsors a Goose
Day Gala luncheon or dinner featuring roast goose and live entertainment on the 29th.
The first weekend of December signals the start of the three-day Festival of Ice in downtown
Lewistown. Thousands of visitors flock to the streets to watch huge blocks of ice transform
into a crystal fairyland by sculptors using hammers and chisels, chain saws and blow torches.
The event boasts over 40 sculptures, food and craft vendors, horse drawn carriages, and a
visit from Santa. Check out our website for dates, locations and details on these and many

Getting Around
the Valley
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
invested over $200 million in the past four years in the
highway systems serving the region. This includes a
North Lewistown Bypass and the rebuilding of “the
Narrows,” the two-lane conduit connecting Mifflin and
Juniata Counties. It is now a four lane divided highway. Mifflin and Juniata Counties are now connected
to all the major cities on the east coast via four lane
roadways, plus access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
This has brought national attention to our rural region.
Dozens of investors and commercial entities are investigating opportunities for growth in the region, and
many have invested in real estate. Projects and housing
starts are under construction. The area is positioned
for economic growth and development. Local community leadership is taking a pro-active stance. A balance
between growth and preservation is the objective.
Mifflin County is home to 16 municipalities and
Juniata County has 17. Plans must be approved at the
local level and then by county government.
