Mountain Home Magazine

Awards

Local Stories, Local Pride

There’s a good reason Mountain Home readers cherish and talk up the magazine in a special way. It’s their lives, their stories, all our stories, and they tell them so powerfully the magazine has been recognized for serving its audience better than any publication in Pennsylvania. Local fishermen, hunters, farmers, pastors, college professors, coffee shop baristas, retired factory workers, a mountain man, and a ninety-year-old widow have proven themselves among the best writers in the state on every subject from science to humor to outdoor writing.
