Dushore, Pennsylvania (8480944511)

The town got its distinctive name from a French naval officer, Aristide Aubert Dupetit-Thouars, which early settlers gradually simplified into "Dushore." Life here revolves around the outdoors and a close-knit community spirit, highlighted each August by quirky traditions like the annual outhouse races on Founders' Day. With state game lands nearby and Worlds End State Park just a short drive away, Dushore is an appealing spot for anyone looking for quiet mountain living.
