Groundhog Day is hosted by the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club each year on February 2, at the grounds that is known as Gobbler’s Knob. Visitors and Locals can visit Gobber’s Knob throughout the year now, with a new Visitors’ Center and Gift Shop on the grounds. When visiting, you will experience educational interactive activities; a theater to watch cuts of Groundhog Day in years past; get a picture of the hand-painted mural by a local artist; enjoy the memorabilia of Groundhog Day and the Groundhog Club; and shop for some great souvenirs. Make sure you ask all those questions that you have about how Groundhog Day started or how you can join in on the fun of Groundhog Day while visiting.
While at Gobbler’s Knob, you can enjoy a walk on our trail or visit the stage where the Groundhog Day festivities take place. Don’t forget to view the bricks that people have purchased from our brick program, that are placed on the Gobbler’s Knob stage and peek into the famous Phil’s stump.
The Gobbler’s Knob Trail is an informational trail that is almost a half of a mile long on the Gobbler’s Knob grounds. At the entrance of the trail, you are welcomed with a lovely stone bench and garden area that you can stop and enjoy before starting your walk. Along your journey, you will find signage with the history of Groundhog Day, The Inner Circle, Phil, and more. Metal artwork is placed along the trail, that has been created and donated by Jefferson County DuBois Area Vocational-Technical School, a local trade school in the community. While walking the trail, you may see some of the area’s wildlife as well as the local vegetation.
