This website attempts to document and preserve the history and people of Ganister, Pennsylvania, an ‘old’ quarry town not far from Altoona. ‘Old’ because the history is neither ancient nor even colonial-American in nature, but still from a time or era before the second decade of the 21st century.
The aim, for now, is to have a simple history of the town along with some basic information on the old families of Ganister—with care not to provide too much detail—and where they came from, some maps of the town and then lastly photographs.
