Blair County stands at a crossroads of history in the heart of the majestic Allegheny Mountains. Defined by geography, fueled by industry, forged by war, and remade through innovation, the region’s tale is a microcosm of the evolving national experience. The saga of indigenous peoples, settlers, soldiers, industrialists, and everyday citizens who shaped local society is one of trial, tragedy, and triumph. This engaging film traces the cultural influences of Central Pennsylvania’s rich heritage. Interviews, reenactments, rare photos, and archival footage breathe life into the dramatic stories of the past.
This 90-minute documentary brings viewers on a centuries-long journey across Blair County.
The sold-out grand premiere at Altoona’s Historic Mishler Theatre received a standing ovation and rave reviews. Due to popular demand, several screenings are scheduled throughout Central Pennsylvania.
Dinner and beverages are optional and not included in admission. After the presentation concludes, the filmmakers will participate in a Q&A panel. The DVD and other film merchandise will also be for sale afterward. The evening's proceeds will support the Blair County Historical Society and its educational mission to preserve and interpret history.
