About Pine Grove Mills

Sitting right at the base of Tussey Mountain, Pine Grove Mills is a quiet, historic village just ten minutes southwest of State College. With around 1,500 residents, the community has roots that trace back to the late 1700s, when early settlers built gristmills along Slab Cabin Run. Today, it combines that small-town heritage with beautiful valley scenery, offering a relaxed rural setting with Penn State and downtown amenities just down the road.
