Where is Krumsville?

Krumsville is easy to find! It's located right where two roads meet: Pennsylvania Route 737 and Old Route 22. A big highway called Interstate 78 (which is also U.S. Route 22) passes nearby.

The way these roads connect was recently updated. Now, PA 737 crosses over I-78/US 22 on a brand new bridge. This makes it safer and easier for everyone to travel through the area.

Important Places in Krumsville

Even though Krumsville is a small community, it has several important buildings that serve the people who live there. These places are key parts of daily life and history in the area:

  • Greenwich-Lenhartsville Elementary School: This is where many of the local kids go to learn and grow. It's a central spot for education in the community.
  • Krumsville Inn: This historic building is a well-known landmark. Inns like this often served as places for travelers to rest and eat many years ago.
  • Mt. Zion's Church: This church is a place for worship and community gatherings. It's also home to Boy Scout Troop 104, which teaches young people important skills and values.
  • Dietrich's Meats: This local business provides fresh meats to the community. It's a great example of a small, family-run business that serves local needs.

Krumsville and Grimville

Just a short distance east of Krumsville, along Old Route 22, you'll find another small community called Grimville. Grimville is even smaller than Krumsville. Because they are so close, people sometimes think they are the same place or get them confused. However, they are two separate, unique communities!
