- Standing Stone Creek
Standing Stone Creek is a
tributary of theJuniata River in Huntingdon and Centre Counties,Pennsylvania in theUnited States .Allegedly, when the first European visitors arrived at the creek's mouth, they found a Native American camp whose lodges were arranged in a circle, centered by a 14-foot-high, six-inch-square stone pillar, marked with petroglyphs. When the Native Americans left, they took the stone with them. But the creek's name remains in memory of that monument.
