Once done serving the rails it was converted into a diner which was first settled in Huntingdon County Pennsylvania, across from the Juniata River in Smithfield.
In 1946 Ethel Rupert the first owner of Diner 22 decided to move the diner to Alexandria, along the new U.S. Route 22. Diner 22 entered the Wilt Family in 1970. This is our 50th anniversary, first starting with Agnes Bilich grandmother, then got passed to Gloria Wilt, mother and current owner Ed Wilt, son of Gloria.
