Twenty-nine Acres on Tussey Mountain Added to Rothrock Forest
(STATE COLLEGE, Pa.) When Tom Hoy retired from a career with the FBI and returned to his hometown of State College in 2006, he had plans to build a retirement retreat on a little piece of land on Tussey Mountain handed down to him by his parents. The 29-acre slice of forest perched above Shingletown Road between Pine Grove Mills and Musser Gap had been in Hoy’s family since 1916. Hoy’s mother grew up on a farm at what is now the intersection of Whitehall Road and Route 26.
