Philipsburg is a community on the Moshannon Creek, which flows east off the Allegheny Mountains in central Pennsylvania. The region was blessed with rich seams of bituminous coal that have provided the area with employment and prosperity. This collection of photographs includes communities on both sides of the creek, highlighting the area’s people, industry, commerce, architecture, and famous visitors to the town.
For this volume they have selected images from the Centre County Historical Society, the Clearfield County Historical Society, and private collections.
