Places to stay in Calumet, Pennsylvania

Calumet is a community in Mount Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Although the United States Census Bureau includes it in community with the nearby community of Norvelt, they are in reality two very different communities, each reflecting a different chapter in how the Great Depression affected rural Pennsylvanians. Calumet was a typical "patch town", built by a single company to house coal miners as cheaply as possible. The closing of the Calumet mine during the Great Depression caused enormous hardship in an era when unemployment compensation and welfare payments were non-existent. On the other hand, Norvelt was created during the depression by the US federal government as a model community, intended to increase the standard of living of laid-off coal miners. Local dining options include Bells Steak & Sea House, Nino's Restaurant, Tree Tops Restaurant, and The Filling Station.

If you are travelling in the area, Calumet is located close to Zions Church, Armbrust School, Errett Cemetery, Temple Emanuel Cemetery and Guardian Angels Day Care and Learning Center.
