"Tussey Furnace . . . was located near the headwaters of Slab Cabin Run in what is now Pine Grove Mills. While the furnace had a short industrial life, Slab Cabin Run provided the waterpower for a series of gristmills to serve the area’s agricultural needs and gave the community its “mills” label." / https://www.centrehistory.org/centre-county-furnaces/
