This month we will continue a visit to Western Pennsylvania to visit a town from which I just added a very nice grade large note to my collection. In rural Somerset County, southeast of Pittsburgh and close to the Maryland line, let’s visit quaint Rockwood, Penn.
Rockwood is a borough in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The population was 850 at the 2020 census. It is around 57 miles southeast of Pittsburgh and easily reached from U.S. Route 219 via State Route 653. It is located due north of Pennsylvania’s highest peak, Mount Davis, and around 10 miles north of the Maryland state line.
Rockwood was initially known as Shaff’s Bridge and then Mineral Point. John
