Invites you on a journey of discovery, through the disappearing landscape of history in Central Pennsylvania. Architecture and artifacts that generations have taken for granted as part of their everyday world are captured in this beautiful collection of photographs, some only a short time before they have disappeared from the scene forever. For the long-time resident, this book holds memories. For the young, and those unfamiliar with the area, this book provides a record of the rich historical and aesthetic assets of the region. Robert Kurtz has preserved a vision of the Pennsylvania that our children may know only through story and legend.

Summer in Clearfield,
By A Customer
This review is from: Future Passages, Central Pennsylvania Icons Your Children May Never Know (Hardcover)
Warm feelings of visitng my greatgrandmother on hot summer days in Curwensville and Clearfield. The outhouses, the barns, the bear in the big city, brought back those memories of unearned family affection and the mountain views. A joyful book for families in Pennsylvanial, Nevada or any where else in the world.
