About Summerhill

Summerhill is a quiet, close-knit borough of fewer than 500 residents nestled in the Allegheny Mountains of Cambria County. Tucked into a scenic valley where Laurel Run meets the Little Conemaugh River, the community has deep roots dating back to the late 1700s, when early settlers built stone homesteads and watermills along the water. Historic railroad routes helped shape the town over the decades, leaving behind a peaceful, traditional Western Pennsylvania setting.
