About the host
Hosted by Brenda
My husband, Bob, and I grew up locally and both graduated from Penn State University. We have three awesome children, one who is also a recent Penn State graduate, and two more graduates to go. We purchased this historic building over 12 years ago. Our family is super excited to open up this gem to you. We hope you enjoy your stay with us and look forward to your return visit to 219 North Pennsylvania Avenue soon!

Why they chose this property
Centre Hall, PA is a quaint, historic town located in the heart of the state. It is adorned with tree-lined streets and offers many small local businesses within its limits as well as its surrounding family friendly communities. Centre Hall residents enjoy taking advantage of the abundance of outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and camping that are available throughout the area. There's also plenty to do in town with restaurants and cafes to hang out at as well as festivals and farmers markets to attend that take place throughout the year. Centre Hall offers an ideal combination of peaceful countryside living alongside all the amenities you would expect from a small town. It is just 80 miles northwest of Harrisburg and 130 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Centre Hall hosts the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair. The Grange Fair attracts tens of thousands of people during its run, and takes place during the last weeks in August annually. It is one of the few remaining tenting fairs in the United States, with nearly a thousand "army-style" tents laid in rows throughout its grounds. It is possible to walk to the Fair from our location because of the closeness to our accommodations.
Centre Hall is close to Beaver Stadium, Penns Cave and its wildlife park, the Arboretum at Penn State, Bald Eagle State Park, Black Moshannon State Park, Poe Valley State Park, Woodward Cave, the Tussey Mountain ski area, the Pennsylvania Military Museum, and victorian Bellefonte just to name a few interests.
One of Centre Hall’s greatest assets in its surrounding areas as well is its abundant wildlife in a setting of great natural beauty. Fishermen’s Paradise and the Scotia Game Lands are just some of these public parks and facilities available to Centre Countians. The Neff “Round Barn,” one of its most iconic buildings, is located at 2519 Earlystown Road. It’s a beautiful historic barn worth sightseeing.
It’s the simplicity, the character, and the people! Come and visit!

What makes this property unique
One of the main reasons this property will always be of great value is because of its historical appeal. It has a unique story to tell, and offers an interesting history that adds to its charm. It offers a sense of nostalgia and connection to the past. It has stood the test of time.
In 1912 the building was built for the town’s first published newspaper, The Centre Reporter. Thereafter, in 1923 a vaulted addition was built onto the historic location and the town operated its original First National Bank of Centre Hall therein. In 2012 the First National Bank moved from this original location. Thereafter, our family acquired the property and renovated to further increase the allure of the location.
Our family is passionate about preserving the the town’s rich history!
