Books take us on new adventures! Sometimes those adventures are mental journeys, which we can read from the comfort of an armchair while envisioning historical events or faraway destinations. Other times, those adventures are quite literal... guidebooks can tag along with you on your explorations, providing you with maps and expert tips. Whatever type of adventure you enjoy, we have books on the PA Wilds Marketplace that can take you there.
Ancient pines and hemlocks form old growth forest cathedrals and inspire the name of this landscape near the southwest corner of the PA Wilds. Referred to as a “land of giants,” the wooded hillsides are home to some of the tallest trees east of the Mississippi, as well as creative makers like us who draw inspiration from the history of our forests when crafting products like the ones seen here. Let's meet the PA Wilds Marketplace makers who are creating, designing, crafting and innovating in the Cook Forest and the Ancients landscape!
Our home here at the center of the PA Wilds lives up to its name. The Elk Country landscape is home to the largest free-roaming elk herd in the northeast. It’s not uncommon to find them grazing in our backyards. While some people are still discovering that Pennsylvania is home to elk, we’ve been stewarding them for decades and finding ways to celebrate their beauty and resilience. Let's meet the PA Wilds Marketplace makers who are creating, designing, crafting and innovating in the Elk Country landscape!
Pennsylvania's only national forest, the Allegheny National Forest (ANF), inspires the name of this landscape and our makers here in the PA Wilds. The ANF spans more than 500,000 acres in the northwest portion of the Wilds, and residents often create art and wares that reflect the landscape’s most treasured places and experiences. These goods are sure to keep the landscape top of mind, whether by design or when remembering who made them. Let's meet the PA Wilds Marketplace makers who are creating, designing, crafting and innovating in the PA Wilds Allegheny National Forest and Surrounds landscape!

The Thanksgiving season reminds us of the things for which we are grateful: family, friends, health, prosperity, creative endeavors and the awe-inspiring landscape that surrounds us. Our Pennsylvania Wilds region gives us plenty to give thanks for, especially with its rich history and endless variety of natural beauty. Let’s take a moment and remember the things we are much thankful for in the PA Wilds!
The wind blew and a decision was made. Stephanie Distler took ownership of her entire studio, moving her workbenches and sawhorses into the other side of the room. She shows the process of changing her workspace!
