History
Route 997 was signed in 1928 from Waynesboro to US 30 in Fayetteville. The southern terminus was changed to the state line in 1936 and the northern terminus was changed from Fayetteville to Greenvillage. In 1941, Route 997 was shifted off the present PA 316 alignment to its current alignment. Twenty-three years later, the northern terminus was shifted northward from Greenvillage to its current end in McCrea. In 1977, Route 997 was swapped off its alignment on Mont Alto Road, Main Street and Mount Pleasant Road onto its current route.

“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!

“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
