Local knowledge

Why we know Ganister homes well

Ganister sits in Woodbury Township along the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River, on land the Pittsburgh Limestone Company leased in 1895 to quarry the hard silica-rich rock that gave the community its name. When the quarries eventually shut down, the pits filled with water and became the Blue Hole — first a swimming spot, later a quiet local landmark. Today it's one of the smallest unincorporated communities in Blair County.
