A classic college town surrounded by the unspoiled natural beauty of central Pennsylvania

Historically an agricultural community along the Susquehanna River, the north-central Pennsylvania borough of Lewisburg is best recognized today as the home of Bucknell University, a small liberal arts college on the south side of town. Fairly isolated from larger communities, Lewisburg extolls the timeless charms of a historic small town, boasting an extremely low crime rate and a stellar school system that have made it a popular location for folks raising families. Market Street forms the commercial backbone of the borough, offering a vibrant walking district of dining, shopping, and entertainment options: start your day with coffee at Cherry Alley Café, see what’s new at the art galleries and the Campus Theatre, then drop into the Bull Run Tap House for a drink after hours. With easy access to several nearby rivers, forests, and mountains, Lewisburg is the perfect place for folks who love to spend time outdoors.
