About Buckhorn

Buckhorn is a quiet, scenic community nestled in the rolling hills just outside Bloomsburg. Set near the Fishing Creek valley, it first grew as a welcoming stagecoach crossroads where travelers stopped along the trail. Local lore says the village got its name from deer antlers discovered wedged in an oak tree, and that rustic charm remains a big part of its character. Today, you will find a peaceful setting filled with open green spaces, historic roots, and a relaxed pace of life.

Living here offers an easy balance of country quiet and modern convenience. With quick access to Interstate 80 and Route 42, residents can commute into downtown Bloomsburg in just a few minutes for shopping, dining, and university events, or head toward Danville for regional healthcare hubs. Surrounding farmland keeps the area scenic and uncrowded, making it an appealing option for anyone wanting extra room to breathe while staying close to everyday necessities.
