The site features several acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, historic trees, and heirloom gardens and is a perfect venue for weddings, gatherings and meetings.

The Centre Furnace Mansion, headquarters for the Centre County Historical Society, also features permanent and temporary exhibitions, a library and archives.
