Visitors to the Barnes galleries encounter a puzzling idiosyncrasy: paintings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso shown next to Pennsylvania German calligraphy, metalwork, and furniture. Why juxtapose “rustic” artifacts of the early Pennsylvania hinterland with masterpieces of the Parisian avant-garde? In this four-session online course, we’ll puzzle through the curious case of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’s important but often overlooked collection of Pennsylvania German material culture, including treasures from Ker-Feal, his former country estate.

In 1856, a local woman hurried to the scene of a terrible train crash near her Pennsylvania home. She spent hours caring for the injured, and people never forgot what she did. A railroad later named its station after her. Then the whole town took her name too. I love that a community chose to honor kindness instead of a general or a rich landowner.

Williamsport, Pa. — The Loyalsock Township Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade band has been selected to perform at the 2027 Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) All-State Conference. The band earned the distinction through a competitive audition process that included approximately 100 ensembles from across the state. Under the direction of middle school band instructor and music curriculum chair David Tini, the ensemble has been invited to present a 30-minute performance at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie on April 15. The performance will feature selections from its school-year repertoire, with an anticipated audience of music educators, college professors and students, and music industry representatives from across the state. The 2026-27 LTMS seventh- and eighth-grade band is the fourth ensemble in district history to receive an invitation to perform at the PMEA All-State Conference. Tini credited the accomplishment to the students’ dedication and the collective efforts of the district’s music department, teachers, administrators, and staff. “Achievements like this are built through countless hours of dedication and the daily work that often happens outside the spotlight,” Tini said. “Our students have spent years developing their musicianship, embracing challenges, and building the skills that allow them to perform at such a high level.

1. The Farm Show has roots in Pennsylvania’s earliest agricultural fairs. William Penn organized the Philadelphia Fair in 1686. Agricultural exhibitions eventually spread throughout Pennsylvania, and the first statewide Farm Show was held in Harrisburg in 1917. The event was once known as the Pennsylvania Corn, Fruit, Vegetable, Dairy Products, and Wool Show.
A chest beneath one altar holds 84 relics of saints and martyrs, including Saint Patrick. That detail alone made me stop scrolling. Construction began in 1875, and the cathedral was dedicated in 1893. The bishop behind it refused to build unless the money was already in hand, so the walls rose slowly, stone by red stone.

He’s a rarity, that’s for sure. A guy who’s equally at ease while preaching from the Bible in a church or delivering a punch line at a comedy club. That’s right, State College’s Jonathan Weibel is both an ordained pastor and a professional stand-up comedian. Appropriately enough, he jokes about his curious combination of professions. “I fly a lot,” says the clergy comic, “and one of the first things someone says to you on a plane is, ‘What do you do for a living?’ If I want to talk to them, I tell them I’m a stand-up comedian. And if I’m tired and don’t want to talk to them, I’ll tell them I’m a Baptist evangelist.” Weibel has served in Christian ministry for nearly 40 years. The last 30 years have been spent in the Centre Region, where he’s planted three new churches and served as lead pastor, worship pastor or youth pastor at State College Alliance Church, Penns Valley Community Church and Centre Church. He first got my attention in work that was unrelated to stand-up: serving as the director of Front Yard Mission , a movement designed to bring genuine Christian love to neighborhoods. But then I heard
Movie scenes can make a staircase, a diner, or a quiet cemetery feel unforgettable, turning ordinary places into settings that stay with audiences long after the credits roll. Across Pennsylvania, real locations have helped bring stories to life, from tales of brave fighters and young friendships to encounters with strange creatures and dangerous secrets. Exploring these places in person offers a different perspective than watching them on screen.
The thousands who saw Williamsport’s Armistice Day Parade Tuesday evening probably didn’t notice the resemblance of six of the participants in different divisions of the line, but it was learned today that marchers included a grandmother, her sons and two grandsons.
