DelGrosso’s Amusement Park

DelGrosso’s Amusement Park has its origins back in 1946, when Pennsylvania Railroad employee Fred DelGrosso and his wife Mafalda (Murf) purchased a small amusement park in central Pennsylvania. The couple had a dream. They wanted to commercially produce spaghetti sauce made according to a recipe served by Mafalda’s mother at Moma’s Cafe in Altoona. The kitchen facilities at the amusement park seemed like a good place to start their new business. Today, more than six decades later, Mafalda’s and Fred’s seven sons and daughters, 22 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren make millions of jars of spaghetti sauce and host hundreds of thousands of guests at their amusement park. Nestled in the Allegheny Mountains of Central Pennsylvania, DelGrosso’s Amusement Park provides fun, food and memories in a safe, clean, fun, affordable and delicious environment! As the popularity of Fred’s spaghetti sauce grew, so did the Park. Today, it is a modern family fun facility which includes more than 30 rides, an extensive water park, go-karts, a beautiful miniature golf course and America’s Best Amusement Park Food.

Haines Shoe House

The Shoe House, built in 1948, was by far “Colonel” Mahlon N. Haines’ most outlandish advertising gimmick. It is a wood frame structure covered with wire lath and coated with a cement stucco. It measures 48 ft. in length, 17 ft. in width at the widest part and 25 ft. in height. The interior consists of five different levels and contains three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen and living room. This giant structural advertisement was originally used as a guest house. In the first year after its completion, elderly couples were invited to stay for a weekend and live like “kings and queens” at Haines’ expense. In the Spring of 1987, the Shoe House returned to the Haines family when a granddaughter of the “Shoe Wizard” (Ruth Miller) purchased the building.

Indian Caverns

From the early Nineteenth Century, the residents of Franklinville thought that the cave situated along the banks of Spruce Creek ended in a small room where local settlers scratched their names and the dates of their visits — the earliest being 1816. They may also have thought that they were among the first to explore the several rooms and passages of the cave. All that changed in 1928 when a curious and adventurous young couple made their first visit to the cave. Harold “Hubby” Wertz and his wife, Lenore, were from nearby Tyrone and were avid spelunkers. Over the next year, they purchased the property and opened up an ever-growing series of caverns and passages. After two years of excavation and a $500,000 investment, Hubby and Lenore opened Historic Indian Cave on June 15, 1929 — four months before the stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression. Indian Caverns remains a unique area attraction.

From there, visitors enter the internationally acclaimed Battleroom Auditorium, where a re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg is performed before their eyes. Once again, the Union and Confederate meet for the infamous, tide-turning battle. Amidst the sound of battle cries and bullets, the reasons, causes, and outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg are revealed. Finally, an animated Abraham Lincoln concludes the presentation with his deliverance of the immortal Gettysburg Address.

Cornwall Iron Furnace

It is difficult to imagine that this quiet cluster of beautiful buildings nestled in the rolling hills of Lebanon County was once the home of a fire-breathing blast furnace with an insatiable appetite for rocks and wood! Each picturesque structure at the Cornwall Iron Furnace site played its part in the noisy infancy of the metals industry in America. The charcoal, cold blast iron furnace at Cornwall operated continuously from 1742 to 1883 under the ownership of the Peter Grubb family and later Robert Coleman and his descendants, and was typical of the furnaces in those days. Cornwall Iron Furnace is also quite unique in that it is the only known surviving furnace of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
