Take a trip back in time to when Clearfield County's woods were occupied by lumbermen and log drives filled the West Branch of the Susquehanna. Through historic photographs, witness the growth of Clearfield, Curwensville, and Dubois despite terrible floods and fires; marvel at the growth from a loose collection of logging towns into prosperous and successful Pennsylvania county, well-known for its coal, quarries, the Gearhart Knitting Machine, and businesses such as Kurtz Brothers, Clearfield Furs, and Clearfield Cheese. The engaging photographs in Clearfield County also document how Kylertown Airport was once one of the busiest in the country and reveal how a few county residents, including Nora Waln, Philip Bliss, George Rosenkrans, and Tom Mix, found fame.
