Get away from the hectic demands of everyday life when you stay at a Bellwood, Pennsylvania bed and breakfast inn. Bellwood was founded in 1888 by the Edward Bell family. The early beginnings of Bellwood are paralleled to the avenues of transportation from Iroquois Indian trails, stagecoach, canals, to the mainline of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the present day I-99. The Tuckohoe Valley was known to the Indians as happy hunting grounds. This is evidenced by the finding of many arrowheads at the foot of the beautiful Brush Mountains. There are many historical sites to be found along the river that flows through the town once used to transport flour, wool, and ore. One of the Bell homes still sits on the river’s edge with its seventeen rooms and sheltered travelers taking their wares downstream to the Susquehanna basin. Other Bell family homes are still located in town and the original log home still rests on Main Street. Other historical homes are also located within the town. Beautiful mountains surround the community, providing a variety of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as fishing on Little Juniata River and Spruce Creek and hunting and hiking in the nearby state game lands. Centrally located less than 1 mile off I-99, visitors have easy access to both Altoona and State College, when visiting Penn State University campuses. Spend your day searching for treasures at local shopping malls or in antique stores in Tyrone and Duncansville. Enjoy some family fun and excitement at an Altoona Curve AA baseball game or at Del Grosso’s or Lakemont Amusement Parks.
