Welcome to Philipsburg Borough, Centre County, PA
Philipsburg is home to a number of sites of historical interest, including The Rowland Theater (located on Front Street), The Union Church (also known as the "Mud" Church, on Presqueisle Street), the Simler House (on North Second St), and Halehurst (located off Presqeisle Street near Ninth Street), thought to be a stop on The Underground Railroad, although no evidence to support this has been published.
The Rowland Mansion, former home of U.S. Congressman Charles Hedding Rowland, suffered damage from a recent fire. It has since been repaired and reopened as a bed and breakfast and is Philipsburg's most recent addition to the National Register of Historic places.
