Education
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the surrounding lands from the Mont Alto Iron Co. in 1893. The State Forest Academy was established on this site in 1903 and in 1929 was merged with Penn State's School of Forestry. Mont Alto continued offering the freshman year of the forestry curriculum until 1963, when it expanded its academic program and became a commonwealth campus.
