Centre County sits right in the middle of Pennsylvania. How fitting. It’s home to Penn State’s main campus, where State College buzzes with college town energy. But there’s more to the county than just the university.
Bald Eagle State Park is an outdoor lover’s dream. The area is known for its “Happy Valley” nickname. You’ll find rolling hills and farmland here.
Bellefonte is the county seat on Interstate 80. The Central PA Festival of the Arts brings in huge crowds each summer. Tech startups are popping up alongside traditional industries. From football weekends to quiet hikes, Centre County has it all.
