Reserve a room in a Port Matilda, PA bed and breakfast and relax among the unblemished, peaceful surroundings of central Pennsylvania. Port Matilda was named in honor of 'Matilda,' the eldest daughter of Squire Clement Beckwith, early prominent settler. Where the 'Port' came from has been the subject of much argument. One guess is that since the town was a gateway of Four Corners of travel in every direction it represented a sort of 'port'. Then, there's the legend that once, when Squire Beckwith was ill, he asked Matilda for a drink. 'What do you want?' the daughter is pictured as asking. Then, came the reply, 'Port, Matilda'. Port Matilda was incorporated in 1926 from Worth Township. Regardless of which legend you believe, choosing to stay at a PA Mid-State Bed and Breakfast guarantees lodging accommodations that are inspected and approved with your comfort in mind.
