Pennsylvania’s Neighborhood: Somerset County

Pennsylvania's Neighborhood: Somerset County

During September 2021, Somerset County took center stage on PCN. As part of our regularly-occurring feature, Pennsylvania’s Neighborhood, this series delves into the county’s rich history and what makes it a vibrant place to live today.

Explore Somerset County’s past and present as PCN celebrates all the area has to offer. From the mineral-rich soil that makes Somerset the “land of milk and maple” to the highest point in Pennsylvania, Mount Davis, we take you on a journey that shows the many reasons it is a great place to live and work. Features include:

• Glades Pike Winery, Milroy Farms, and Whitehorse Brewing
• Flight 93 Special National Memorial Coverage
• Quecreek Mine Rescue Visitors Center
• Historical Societies and Architecture
• Meyersdale Maple Festival and Somerset County Fair
• Interviews with Local Veterans, Roof Garden Tractor Buddies, and Former White House Chef John Moeller

On September 10^th and 11^th, we wrapped up the week in remembrance of the 20^th anniversary of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Stoystown. We heard from the first responders, elected officials, and community members who were thrust into the spotlight as a result of terrorist acts. We looked at how the region has memorialized that fateful day, through tours of the Flight 93 National Memorial site, and live coverage of commemorative events.
