Things to Do  

Lots of History for a Small Town

Lots of History for a Small Town, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  Like most places around the United States, Lewisburg is full of historical markers. Most of them are worth reading, too because there isn't much informaton online about the history of Lewisburg or Union County, PA . This particular marker talks about Lewisburg's involvement... 

I guess I was wrong...

I guess I was wrong..., Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  On my intro, I mentioned that Lewisburg isn't one of the great destinations of the world. Apparently it's significant in some ways, though because the whole borough just got placed on the National Historic Register. WOW! I've always accepted it as a pretty town and people do... 

Local flavor

Local flavor, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  The farmers market in Lewisburg takes place every Wednesday and I definitely recommend it if you're in the area. In the summers, there's a lot more going on because there are some stands outside, but the winter is decent too. Local seasonal produce, Amish food (and lots of...

Restaurants  

Temperance House: Good Seafood and Steaks

Temperance House: Good Seafood and Steaks, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  Again, like most places in Lewisburg, this one has been around for a long time, owned by a local family I've known since I was about 5. It's very nice--they get crowded, so I recommend reservations on the weekends. There's lots of places like this around, but this one is... 

Zelda's: like Central Perk- in Central PA!

Zelda's: like Central Perk- in Central PA!, Lewisburg

 jasta_305 Says:  This is my favorite coffee shop in Lewisburg- and there are like 4, (which is a lot for our small town). I like Zelda's the most because it reminds me of Central Perk from Friends. It has the big comfy couch and the miss-matched furniture. It's just cute and funky. It is... 

Howl and Meow cafe: A Pet Cafe in Selinsgrove

Howl and Meow cafe: A Pet Cafe in Selinsgrove, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  We were walking down the street the other day and noticed this, so we decided to stop in. We didn't have our pets with us, but we did have a friend visiting from Alaska, so that seemed to be enough reason. The owner seemed really nice and while there were a lot of people... 

Mya's: What a wonderful place:)

Mya's: What a wonderful place:), Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  At first, I wondered why Lewisburg needed another cafe/coffee shop. For a small town, Lewisburg sure has a lot of them. However, this place is great! I decided to stop in to get coffee for work and I'm pretty sure it's going to become a daily thing. The lady who waits on me... 

Elizabeths: American Bistro

Elizabeths: American Bistro, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  If there's an image that people feel they need to fit into in Lewisburg, Elizabeth's is the place to find it. It's such a Lewisburg place...a perfect addition for a place to claims to be "a perfect town" It's upscale, "trendy", cozy--a great atmosphere. Personally, I like... 

Nightlife  

BJ's Steak and Ribs: The best Bloody Marys!

BJ's Steak and Ribs: The best Bloody Marys!, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  Okay, so this REALLY should be a restaurant tip, but honestly, this place, by FAR serves the best bloody marys around, and other specialty drinks, so that's why it's going here. It's a typical restaurant--I don't know of a single person who doesn't like this place. We ate... 

The Selings-Grove Brewery: It's not really Lewisburg

The Selings-Grove Brewery: It's not really Lewisburg, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  I'm not going to build a separate page for every little town along the Susquehanna. That would be tedious and a waste of everyone's time. This place is about 20 minutes from Lewisburg, and in every locals' opinion, it's all the same place. This brewery is one of the... 

Shopping  

farm stands/markets: Excellent Produce

farm stands/markets: Excellent Produce, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  What I missed most when I lived in Alaska was fresh produce. The food was shipped in on a barge and you had to know what days to grab it, otherwise it was no good. Sometimes, like once a month, a man would come up from the lower 48 and sell fruits and vegetables off his... 

Downtown Lewisburg: Cute little (and overpriced) stores

Downtown Lewisburg: Cute little (and overpriced) stores, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  There are a lot of cool little shops to go into and maybe buy something small, but they are overpriced, for the most part. This is because they figure is parents are willing to spend over $30K a year for some ungrateful kids education at Bucknell (that's unfair, but if you... 

Local Customs  

Bacon Dressing...:)

Bacon Dressing...:), Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  When we had the VT meeting in Intercourse, it occurred to me that such things like bacon dressing and "chow" are definitely local PA Dutch, Amish or Mennonite items. There's all sorts of things they can or pickle and while I don't care for bacon dressing, I do like the sweet... 

I don't know where else to put this!

I don't know where else to put this!, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  It's not a custom but I really can't find any appropriate category for it. Purity chocolates are made locally and they are pretty good...it seems every town makes their own chocolates, at least every one I have lived in. Still, I think Purity ranks well up there with the... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Few things annoy me more...

Few things annoy me more..., Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  If you're taking back roads through Pennsylvania, and this seems to happen more in this area, chances are you'll get behind farm machinery. At one point I was told they weren't supposed to drive on the roads during normal business hours on working days. Apparently, this rule... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Shikellamy State Park

Shikellamy State Park, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  It's not really as great at the other state parks in this area, but it's about 5 minutes from my house, on the same road where I live, so it deserves a tip:) Also, the view here, especially on a clear day is wonderful--you can see much of the Susquehanna Valley and where the... 

It's on fire!!

It's on fire!!, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  Okay, so this is really well off the beaten path, but it's cool to know it at least exists. There is this town not so far away and it's been burning for FORTY years!! Can you believe it? Do you think I might be lying? Are you questioning all of my tips right now? Wonding... 

Sports & Outdoors  

The heart of Little League

The heart of Little League, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  Williamsport, PA, about 25 minutes north of Lewisburg is perhaps best known for being the site of the Little League World Series. The stadium, headquarters and museum are located in South Williamsport, technically and is definitely a place worth checking out. The museum... 

Favorites  

Bucknell University

Bucknell University, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  This certainly isn't my favorite thing about Lewisburg, but I can appreciate it for the fact that it's brought good music, theatre, art and sporting events to this little down. I can't imagine how boring or depressed Lewisburg would be if Bucknell wasn't here. If you're... 

Museums

Museums, Lewisburg

 PA2AKgirl Says:  We have 2 "musuem" here, but you know what's funny? I can't for the life of me tell you what their exhibits are. You know what's even funnier? I have been to them a million times. There is a reason for this, though...everytime I have gone, the exhibits have changed. I think...
