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.

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.
