Ewingjr98 Says: Though not in Lucinda, Cook Forest State Park, is a quick drive to the north. It is a popular summertime destination for canoing, swimming, go-carts, water slides, golf, camping, and hiking. In the fall, it is a great unspoiled wilderness perfect for watching the leaves...
Ewingjr98 Says: Helen Furnace (pronounced Hee-lin, not like the woman's name) is located in Miola, just down Sunset Drive from Lucinda. The origins of the name probably originate from the local settlers from the highlands of Scotland, who pronounced the word "highland" like "hee-lin"....

Sportsmen's Paradise - Leeper/Crown
Ewingjr98 Says: Sportsman's Paradise is one of those restaurants that has been around for decades and it is frequented as much by tourists as by the locals. This is a local bar and a northern Clarion County destination for receptions and big group dinners such as school dinners. I have been...
Ewingjr98 Says: Dew Drop Inn -- On Route 66, 1 mile south of Lucinda, this is the nicest and newest of the three Lucinda bars. A good place for pool, darts, and music.
Ewingjr98 Says: About five miles from Lucinda along a narrow country road is the village of Fryburg. Here you will find a church similar to St Joseph's, a few little stores, and one bar/inn called the Washington House. The business was started in 1982, and today operates as a restaurant and...
Route 66 -- but not the famous one
Ewingjr98 Says: The main road, and really the only road into Lucinda unless you know the side roads, is PA Route 66. Route 66 was created in 1927 and first paved through Lucinda in 1929. The route runs 122 miles through Western PA from New Stanton to Kane.
Ewingjr98 Says: Lucinda is a beautiful area with some great drives through tranquil woods, sprawling farms, and views across small valleys. Some of my favorite jogging routes include East Drive, Licking Drive, Sarvey Mill Road, Fairview Drive, and Sunset Drive.
Jerry's Grocery - Formerly Rod's
Ewingjr98 Says: Rod's Grocery had been in Lucinda for some 25 or 30 years before it was finally sold and renamed Jerry's. When we were kids, we walked to Rod's quite a bit to buy candy, firecrackers, and subs, while other bought deli meats and basic food supplies. In the 1990s, Rod's was...
Ewingjr98 Says: Lander's has been in the middle of Lucinda for decades and is the traditional general store from years gone by. Old, worn hard wood floors, Radio Flyer wagons, hardware, and penny candy are just some of the items you will find at Landers.
Ewingjr98 Says: Texas, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico are America's most famous oil fields today, but did you know our nation's first oil well was drilled right here in the hills of Western Pennsylvania? Drake's Well in Titusville was the site of the first successful attempt at drilling for...
Ewingjr98 Says: In Summer 2008 in Lucinda and the surrounding area you might see signs reading "Free Morgie." What's a Morgie, you might ask?These signs refer to local inventor, mechanic, teacher, entrepreneur, fireworks aficionado, gun collector, and all around odd-ball, named Morgan...
Send your kids to North Clarion High School
Ewingjr98 Says: What are those large, one-story red brick buildings out in the middle of the woods and potato fields in northern Clarion County? A secret government lab creating swine flu or harvesting alien brains? An Al Qaeda training camp? A fat camp for city kids? Maybe one of those...
Ewingjr98 Says: I have lived and traveled all over the world and everywhere I go people tell me how bad the weather is at that particular location. "Watch out for black ice," they say, or "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it'll change." I'm so tired of hearing everyone...
Winter Driving in Pennsylvania
Ewingjr98 Says: Use caution in Pennsylvania in the winter. Roads get icy quickly, lots of snow falls with little warning, and southerners occasionally venture out on the roads (see photo). Slow down when the weather gets bad! Four wheel drive helps maintain traction, as does weight in the...
Ewingjr98 Says: Griebel's Farm in Lucinda began a new tradition a few years ago... the annual Fall corn maze. This local adventure started in 2007 and has only grown. In 2010 the farm had two mazes: a traditional corn maze, with a non-traditional NFL "Play 60" campaign design and a haunted...
Ewingjr98 Says: I originally wanted to put the Fryburg Sportsman's Club in the nightlife section, but then I realized you can also get a great meal here. Then I thought, most people don't go to the club for drinking or eating, rather they enjoy it for the recreational offerings.The bar is...
This is the best (only?) sports venue in Lucinda. Used mainly for Little League baseball, the stadium (bleachers) seats about 200. Bring a lawn chair or sit on the tailgate of your pickup truck for the best view! But watch for foul balls.
We played a lot of football in right field during the winters... often with a foot or more of snow on the ground. After three or four hours most of us could hardly walk, but I've never had so much fun for free.

Historic Building near the Lucinda Train Station
Ewingjr98 Says: Next to the historic Lucinda Train Station is another old building. This one stands three-stories high, making it the largest building in Lucinda other than St. Joseph's Church. I can only guess at the original use of this building--perhaps a mill or an inn? Either would...
