Location(s)

Liberty Township is at the northeastern edge of Centre County, separated from Clinton County on the east by Beech Creek. Formed in 1845, the southern part of Liberty Township is in Bald Eagle Valley, the northern part is in Marsh Creek Valley. The discovery of nearby clay deposits suitable for making brick resulted in the founding of the village of Monument in 1903, and for fifty years it was a center for brickmaking. Two other communities, Blanchard and Eagleville, are in the southeastern corner of the Township, on opposite sides of the Bald Eagle Creek.
