Bellefonte Air Mail Field

The initial stop on the first scheduled west-bound air mail flight was made here by Pilot Leon D. Smith on December 18, 1918. The site for the field was chosen by pioneer aviator Max Miller and was in regular use for air mail until 1925.

Marker is at the intersection of East Bishop Street (State Highway 550) and Beaver Farm Lane, on the right when traveling east on East Bishop Street.
