Jefferson County, Pennsylvania
Jefferson County is deep in the Pennsylvania Wilds. It’s a place where elk roam free and the stars shine bright at night. Punxsutawney, yeah, that Punxsutawney, calls this county home. Every February 2nd, the world turns its eyes here for Groundhog Day.
But there’s more to Jefferson than just Phil. The county has some serious natural beauty. There’s Clear Creek State Park. Cook Forest State Park is a camper’s paradise.
Brookville, the county seat, has a nice historic district. The area’s known for its great hunting and fishing. And if you’re into history, check out the Scripture Rocks Heritage Park. It’s pretty unique.
