Tuscarora, PA

Located just west of Tamaqua in Schuylkill County, Tuscarora is a quiet village surrounded by steep, wooded hills and wide-open parkland. Life here is slow and private, with Tuscarora State Park and Locust Mountain defining the local landscape. It is the kind of rural spot where quiet roads wind through the valley, giving residents scenic views and fresh mountain air while keeping Route 54 close enough for convenient trips into town.
