In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Peale was a thriving Swedish mining community of several thousand residents along the Moshannon Creek and Moravian Run in Cooper Township, Pennsylvania. Today, the area has been reclaimed by the forest. Only its ruins can still be glimpsed along a dirt road near the town of Grassflat. The red, sulphur waters of the "Red" Moshannon Creek bear witness to the continued presence of nearby tunnel mine shafts.
