CCHS focuses first and foremost on preserving the recently restored Centre Furnace Mansion, historic Furnace Stack and surrounding grounds, on the National Register of Historic Places, that compose the most significant historical site in Centre county for the following reasons: A) They commemorate the birth of the iron industry in Centre County and environs. Centre furnace went into blast in 1792, the first iron furnace in what soon after became Centre County (in 1800) and the second in Central Pennsylvania. B) Half a century later, Centre Furnace Mansion became the birthplace of The Penn State University. On June 26, 1855, a committee of the board of trustees of the newly chartered Farmers' High School Of Pennsylvania visited the site to view the proposal of 200 acres of land offered freely by Centre Furnace iron master Gen. James Irvin. On September 12, 1855, after viewing other proposed sites and after much debate, the trustees approved the motion of trustee president Frederick Watts to accept the Centre county site. The farmers' high school opened for collegiate instruction in 1859 and today has grown into the Pennsylvania State University, ranked among the top 100 global research universities. 178876 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PA X X X MARY SORENSEN 8142344779 1001 E COLLEGE AVENUE STATE COLLEGE PA 16801 ROGER L WILLIAMS PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JACKIE R ESPOSITO VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH McMANUS SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BEVERLY LIPSKI TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANN MOELLENBROCK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOB POTTER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM BLAIR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FORD RISLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN POPOVICH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN HAMILTON TAYLOR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD BUNDY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY SORENSEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 0 0 39833 0 0 39833 0 0 0 0 0 18007 45965 15000 197480 1473 276452 21317 21317 26447 24947 1500 1500 1500 68379 29177 39202 39202 6153 2031 4122 4122 342593 0 0 66141 41028 28719 4103 8206 30547 21383 6109 3055 910 637 182 91 5671 3970 786 915 3668 3668 5904 4133 818 953 10793 7555 1496 1742 3157 2209 438 510 30812 30710 47 55 8856 6200 1227 1429 PRINTING & PUBLICATIONS 32198 22538 4463 5197 MANSION MAINTENANCE 26948 26948 PROGRAMS/COLLECTIONS/EX 16693 16693 UTILITIES 6995 4897 969 1129 6519 2284 682 3553 230699 178876 24988 26835 33442 74100 1150 0 16451 16266 4310 7065 1494581 143585 1251535 1350996 821965 884519 32542 33475 2161395 2366421 679 35905 3514 2676 4193 38581 X 1858274 2012687 298928 315153 2157202 2327840 2161395 2366421 111894 58744 0 X 0 0 0 X 177038 160170 144717 298398 174452 954775 177038 160170 144717 298398 174452 954775 138830 815945 15449 26517 10296 16373 21202 89837 100 100 1044712 37651 0.78100 0.79690 X Schedule A, Part VI, List of Unusual Grants: Description: RENOVATION GRANT Date: 12/31/21 Amount: 100000.
