DISTANCE TO NEXT: Pine Grove Mills - 7 MI The "MI" notation after the mileage number is not typical. Usually only a number appeared. The choice of Pine Grove Mills as the next town also seems strange, as the Borough of State College lies between Lemont and Pine Grove Mills.
EXPLANATION OF NAME: Formerly "End of Mountain" - A good description as Lemont does lie at the base of Mount Nittany, but was the town actually called "End of Mountain"?
FOUNDED: 1789
MANUFACTURER: This is an aluminum replica made by Lake Shore Industries in Erie, PA.
