Penn’s Cave Farm, PA, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.
About 13-15 miles from State College, in the valley of the Allegheny Mts.,we were looking for this attraction, but didn’t have time to walk down 48 steps and take a boat ride in the caves. We weren’t even sure where the entrance was. We enjoyed looking at the long horns and bison, both within the boundaries of electric fences. The church was down a bumpy road called ‘Swamp Church Road’ and was built in 1885. I like to take photos of churches in my travels. There is a website about it with some history, including a ghost story! A husband and wife that lived near the church saw a ghostly figure go by them in early May as they sat on their porch in the early evening (the house was razed and no longer there). It was a young woman and she entered the church.They could see the soft glow of candlelight after she entered. Then she went from pew to pew showing off a baby. It was known that a young woman had a baby 8 months after her sweetheart died in the Civil War. She was a member of this church and was shunned by the congregation. She disappeared and was never seen again.
It looks like you all had a fun time at the graduation and exploring about the town.
Interesting ghost story about the church.
I like church photos. This nice looking church.
