About this publication
The Indiana County Resource Directory is
designed to be an all-in-one publication for
residents of Indiana County, whether you are new
to the area or have lived here all your life.
We have assembled valuable information from
numerous aspects of life here that we hope you
will keep and use as a reference guide throughout
the year.
This guide is broken into numerous categories,
including information about the county itself and
each of its municipalities, public and private
schools, recreational opportunities and annual
festivals, social service agencies, the political
scene and more.
The resource directory is also available on our
website at www.indianagazette.com so readers
from anywhere can learn more about the place we
call home.
Did we
miss you?

Indiana County Resource
Directory, we may have

BLACKLICK VALLEY
NATURAL AREA
East Wheatfield Township,
east of Armagh
Although no detailed
written history of the Native
American presence in the
Blacklick Valley is available, it
is likely that members of the
Shawnee and Delaware tribes
used the creek for fishing and
transportation.
The first recorded owner of
what is now the Parker Tract of
the Blacklick Valley Natural
Area was William Bracken,
who purchased 309 acres
from the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in 1786.
At that time, the land was located in Westmoreland County; Indiana County was not
created until 1803. Since
Bracken’s purchase, the property has changed hands many
times. Most recently David
and Penny Russell, formerly of
Dilltown, owned the property.
They donated it to Indiana
County Parks in 1995.
Spruce Lodge accommodates
100 people and the Lakeside
Center has an indoor capacity
of 50 people, with extra seating available on a large deck.

BLUE SPRUCE PARK
Rayne Township, near Ernest
Indiana County established
Blue Spruce Park in 1966, but
recreational use of the site
first occurred in the early part
of the century. Cummins Dam
(also known locally as Cummings Dam with a “g”) was
constructed in 1908 and enlarged in 1912. The dam was
built by the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburgh Railway and
was named after an early
landowner, J.D. Cummins.
The Blue Spruce Park Festival of Lights has become a
holiday tradition for many
county residents and visitors
to the area.
Purchase of the original 377
acres by the county was completed by 1966 and work on
clearing the site and dredging
the dam began.
By 1968 the park was open
to the public. An additional 41
acres was acquired in 1981.
Another 232 acres was added
to the park in 2001, making
the total park acreage 650
acres, or slightly larger than
one square mile.
Facilities: The park has four
pavilions and two lodges
available for public rentals.
The pavilions seat groups
from 35 to 250 people. Blue
Along Blacklick Creek in
Brush Valley Township
Built in 1847 by Henry McClelland, Elias McClelland
and Stephen A. Johnston,
Buena Vista was named for
the Mexican War battle fought
in February 1847. The 30-foothigh furnace used local iron
ore, limestone and charcoal to
produce approximately 400
tons of pig iron per year.
The furnace property was
sold at sheriff’s sale in 1850 to
Dr. Alexander Johnston; production continued until 1856.
In 1900, Stephen Johnston
sold a 67-acre parcel that included the Buena Vista Furnace to Judge A.V. Barker for
$20,000. Barker sold it and
other properties to the Lackawanna Coal and Coke Co. in
1902. In 1917, the property
passed to the Vinton Colliery
Co.
In 1957, the Delano Coal Co.
sold the furnace and property
to the Historical and Genealogical Society of Indiana
County. Since then, repairs
have been curtailed due to a
lack of access and additional
damage caused by the flood of
1977. The opening of the
Ghost Town Trail extension in
2006 renewed efforts to save
the site and make it accessible
to the public.
The Historical and Genealogical Society of Indiana
County leases the site to Indiana County Parks.
Facilities: There are no facilities at the site, but visitors are
permitted to view the furnace
remains. Over the next few
years efforts will be made to
secure funding to provide improvements at the site.
BUTTERMILK FALLS
West Wheatfield Township,
near Clyde
This site features a 45-foot
waterfall and scenic woodland. The 48-acre natural area
was donated to Indiana County Parks & Trails in 1995 by the
Indiana Gazette Resource Directory, August 2013— 25
RECREATION
Keystone-Conemaugh Group, owners of
the nearby Conemaugh Generating Station. As a natural area the site has been
set aside to protect both typical and
unique plant and animal communities
and to protect outstanding examples of
natural beauty.
Between 1931 and 1956, the property
was owned by Fred McFeely, grandfather
of Fred Rogers of children’s television
fame. McFeely, a wealthy industrialist
from Latrobe, used the property as a
retreat.
His estate featured a cottage, horse
stables, a three-car garage, outbuildings
and a swimming area in the creek above
the falls. Rogers often visited the site as a
child. Stone foundations and retaining
walls from the estate are visible at the
site.
Facilities: In keeping with the mission
of a natural area, development at Buttermilk Falls is limited. A restroom, small
picnic pavilion, parking area, falls overlook viewing area and a hiking trail are located at the falls.
ELIZA FURNACE HISTORIC SITE
Along the Ghost Town Trail near Vintondale, Cambria County
The Eliza Furnace is a National Register
site regarded as one of Pennsylvania’s
best-preserved iron furnaces. Dating
from 1846, the Eliza Furnace is one of
only a few iron furnaces remaining in the
United States which still retains its original heat exchanger piping. The two-acre
site is leased to Indiana County by the
Cambria County Historical Society. The
Eliza Furnace was constructed in 1845
and 1846. At its peak, the furnace employed more than 90 people and utilized
45 mules to produce about 1,080 tons of
iron a year.
Facilities: Located near the site is Eliza
Station, which features a restroom, picnic
area and water fountain. The furnace is
also located at the midpoint of the Ghost
veyed in 1774, the site was once a church
cemetery, and many graves are still located in the park. During the Civil War the
site served as a hiding place for travelers
of the Underground Railroad. The park’s
doughboy statue was erected in 1923 by a
group of citizens led by Alex Stewart,
father of the actor James Stewart. Nearby
is the Clark House, home of the Indiana
County Historical Society.
Facilities: The 2-acre park is a shady
retreat in Indiana Borough and features a
bandstand, used for summer concerts.

Hemlock Lake Park was originally
called Straight Run Dam when it was
completed by the Pennsylvania Fish
Commission in 1970. The dam is 650 feet
long and 40 feet high at its highest point.
Indiana County Parks & Trails leases the
site from the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat
Commission as a public recreation area.
The 205-acre park features a 60-acre lake
with two boat launches and areas for picnicking, hunting, hiking and fishing (including ice fishing).
Facilities: Two pavilions are available
on a first-come first-served basis. The
lake has been stocked with bluegill, bass,
catfish, muskellunge, walleye and northern pike. Fishermen may moor their
boats at the park. Only electric motors
and hand-propelled boats are permitted.

THE
OLD SMICKSBURG PARK
Old Smicksburg Park is a 33-acre area in
Smicksburg Borough.
Since 2000, the park had been managed
by the Smicksburg Area Heritage Society.
In 2010, the management agreement was
transferred to Indiana County Parks &
Trails.
The park is located on property leased
to Smicksburg Borough from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers as part of the
Mahoning Dam flood control area.
Until the early 1940s the park property
was part of Smicksburg. With the construction of Mahoning Dam, 22 properties were condemned for flood-control.
About 65 percent of the population of
Smicksburg was displaced by the federal
government’s acquisition.
The park provides a chance to preserve
the history of Smicksburg and interpret
life of an early American village.
The park will also serve as an added attraction for tourists visiting the Smicksburg Amish country and the specialty
shops of Smicksburg.
Facilities: The park offers a number of
hiking trails that are suited to hiking,
birding and wildflower study. The Little
Mahoning Creek runs through the town
and provides a location from which to
launch a canoe or kayak. A portable restroom, gazebo and picnic tables are now
available for visitor use.

RECREATION
PINE RIDGE PARK
Burrell Township, three miles
east of Blairsville
The property for the park
was purchased in 1966 and
1967 primarily with federal
Land and Water Conservation
Fund grants. Students from
Penn State’s Landscape Architecture and Recreation Management departments created
the design for Ridge Park. Students submitted park designs
in a contest held by the Indiana County Planning Office in
1966. At 635 acres, much of
the park remains in a natural
state with large stands of mature hardwoods.
Facilities: The Tom’s Run
area features picnic tables,
grills, playgrounds, restrooms
and two pavilions available
for rental. Pine Lodge is in the
southern portion of the park
and is available for group
rental and is used for reunions, meetings, weddings,
receptions and other social
gatherings. It features a
kitchen, restrooms, activity
rooms, a deck and two stone
fireplaces. A 2-acre pond is

TUNNELVIEW
HISTORIC SITE
Adjacent to the Conemaugh
Dam near Blairsville
This 16-acre site, adjacent to
the Conemaugh Dam in
southwestern Indiana County,
contains significant remnants
of transportation history. The
Tunnelview tale begins with
the Pennsylvania Mainline
Canal. A 900-foot portion of
canal visible at the site was
part of the canal’s Western division. The route extended
from Pittsburgh to Johnstown,
where the Allegheny Portage
Railroad began. Once over the
Alleghenies, passengers continued their trip to Harrisburg
and Philadelphia. The site is
also a popular launch area for
canoes and kayaks for the
seven-mile trip to Saltsburg.
Facilities: A pavilion, restroom, interpretive exhibits
and a canoe launch are available at Tunnelview. The Army
Corps of Engineers also offers
extensive public recreation facilities at the nearby Conemaugh River Lake.
YELLOW CREEK
STATE PARK
Off Route 422 near Penn Run
Yellow Creek State Park is
along one of the first “highways” in the state, the Kittanning Path. This trail was used
by the Delaware and Shawnee
nations and by early settlers.
Today, U.S. 422 roughly follows the old Kittanning Path,
and provides the main access
to the park from Indiana and
Ebensburg.
The park is named for Yellow
and Little Yellow creeks, which
create the lake. The creeks
have a lot of yellow clay in the
banks and bottoms.
Facilities: Hiking, picnicking, swimming, boating, fishing, hunting, sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating, yurts, camping cottages

RECREATION
GHOST TOWN TRAIL
The Ghost Town Trail totals
36 miles in Indiana and Cambria counties.
The trail was established in
1991 when the Kovalchick Salvage Co. donated 16 miles of
the former Ebensburg &
Blacklick Railroad to Indiana
County.
In 1993, the Cambria &
Indiana Railroad donated an
extra four miles from Rexis to
White Mill Station known as
the Rexis Branch.
In 2005, an additional 20
miles were added to the trail;
12 miles in Indiana County
and eight miles in Cambria
County.
The trail is designated as a
National Recreation Trail by
the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The Ghost Town Trail derives its name from numerous
mining towns that once existed along the railroad corridor.
Wehrum, the largest of the
former towns, once had 230
houses, a hotel, company
store, jail and bank. Warren
Delano, uncle of President
Franklin Roosevelt, developed
the town.
Other ghost towns include
Bracken, Armerford, Lackawanna, Scott Glenn, Webster,
Beulah and Claghorn. There
are few remnants of these former towns and most of the
ghost towns are on private
property not open to the general public.
Historical markers along the
trail provide interpretive
information about the Blacklick Valley’s history.

RECYCLING
Curbside pickup
The curbside recycling
program is for Indiana Borough and White Township residents, the only municipalities
with a population greater than
10,000. Each household is issued a recycling bin for approved recyclable materials.
If there is no bin at your residence, contact Indiana Borough at (724) 465-6691 or
White Township at (724) 4638585. Residents are required
to place their recycling bin at
the curbside or at the end of
the driveway by 7:30 a.m. on
their pickup day. Do not place
bin on sidewalks, porches,
steps, etc.
Items that are accepted:

clear, green and brown glass;
aluminum and steel cans;
newsprint, inserts and advertisements.
Recycling bins are emptied
weekly on scheduled pickup
days. If an orange sticker is
placed on a bin it means the
bin has been rejected for pickup services. The sticker will
indicate the reason the bin
was rejected. Bins will be rejected if they contain unapproved items, or if there is
broken glass, garbage, food
waste, or other non-recyclable
materials. If this happens,
clean it out and remove the
sticker.
If your regular collection day
falls on a holiday, your bin will
be picked up the following
week on your regular pickup
day.
Dropoff
Bins for residential dropoff
are accessible at the recycling
center any time of day. All
bins in the dropoff area are
clearly marked for acceptable
materials. Remove all bags or
other containers before placing materials into the bins.
If you do not see a bin for
the material you want to recycle, it is probably not an acceptable item for the dropoff
recycling program.
Anyone depositing unapproved items at the recycling
center will be subject to illegal
dumping penalties pursuant
to Center Township’s solid
waste ordinance.
Satellite sites
The authority offers satellite
dropoff recycling services to
communities interested in

As owner of Lentz Kitchen & Bath, I personally battle mobility on
a daily basis, and have needed to make changes in my own life.
It may come as the result of illness or an accident. But often we
are reluctant to admit the need for adjusting our living quarters
to create a safer environment for our everyday life. In some cases,
our health condition can be made even worse by not adapting our
homes to fit our needs.
My personal limitations have actually been of great value to my
entire staff – by using our own experiences, we help ease the frustration of our customers. One of our designers, Connie Merriman, has
taken a special interest in aging in place. She is one of the area’s few
CAPS (Certified Aging in Place) certified designers. Her education
allows her to design and consult on special limited mobility projects.
Call us to learn how we can help you or your loved one remain comfortable at home... for many years to come. ~ Curtis Lentz, owner
