Places to stay in Norvelt, Pennsylvania

Norvelt 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 Calumet, 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. Places to eat in the region include Bells Steak & Sea House, Nino's Restaurant, The Filling Station, and Lobingier's Restaurant.
