Soaring over the top of Mount Nittany, a bald eagle surveys the landmark that has stood the test of time for more than 100 years. The Mt.

Nittany Overlook Event Center sits atop Mount Nittany (aka Centre Hall mountain) between Centre Hall and Pleasant Gap. Visitors walking into the building find a reception desk, on this day staffed by Kit Henshaw. “I like to watch the hawks fly by,” she said as she walked to the back porch to show off the peak mid-October foliage from the top. “When I have time to sit and watch them, that is,” she added, smiling. As co-owner of the property with her husband, Harrison Schailey, Henshaw spends much of her time in her office, on the computer, responding to booking requests and making plans for parties that are booked into 2027: weddings, retirements, training sessions, memorial services, all the hallmarks of life.
