Centralia
Also known as “Pennsylvania’s toxic ghost town,” the town of Centralia is a thirty-minute drive from Bloomsburg University. The Centralia mine fire has been burning underneath the borough since at least May 27, 1962. Townies claim that the town may be haunted; sharing stories of voices. One resident claims they heard a voice telling them to “leave this town.” When visiting the real-life Silent Hill, being cautious is a must due to opening sink holes and smoke inhalation. You can now visit (at your own risk) Graffiti Highway and see the abandon houses, but don’t forget; the fire is still burning under the town.
Rohrbachs’ Farm
From wine and cider to sunflowers and pumpkins; this family owned farm is just fifteen minutes from the university. Inside, they have fresh produce, a bakery, homemade fudge and a Barn Loft gift shop. This fall they have free public hayrides along with pay-as-you-go pony rides, corn mazes, pick your own pumpkins and food trucks.
