Recently, Huntingdon, PA was voted the 5th Coolest Town in the United States. Here is what one reader wrote
“Located along the Juniata River, the town is the center of culture and business in Huntingdon County. The antique trains on the East Broad Top Railroad tour will take you back to the time of coal-fueled steam engines. Visit Juniata College’s Baker Peace Chapel, a granite circle that sits atop a secluded hill, which was designed by artist and architect Maya Lin. In the evening, dine at Boxer’s Café, a local favorite for a large selection of microbrews and live music. The home-cooked meals appeal to many and include vegetarian options. Drop by Mimi’s, a cosmopolitan restaurant and bar known for its desserts and martinis—and dessert martinis.”
