Schuylkill County Visitors Bureau / 1-800-765-7282 / www.schuylkill.org
Schuylkill County
is nestled between the mountains of
East Central Pennsylvania in the coal
Country Corridor of the Schuylkill River
National & State Heritage Area, where
outdoor recreation, unique attractions,
fascinating history and a host of
exciting events abound. We are a
cultural heritage destination like no
other.
Our vast quantities of hard anthracite
coal attracted thousands of immigrants
from around the world as our region
fueled Amerian’s Industrial Revolution
during the 19th & 20th centuries.
Among these immigrants was D. G.
Yuengling, founder of America’s Oldest
Brewery. In Schuylkill county you can
enjoy traditional German lager, the wine
of 6 unique PA wineries and an eclectic
mix of traditional PA Dutch dishes along
with traditional eastern European
cuisine. Real food and drink for real
travelers looking for that original
heritage taste!

A Letter from the Executive Director
Salutations!
Welcome to Schuylkill County; an American Original! Initially
settled by the Lenape tribe and early Dutch settlers, Schuylkill
County quickly became a magnet for German, Irish, English,
Welch and a veritable host of Eastern European immigrants.
Their shared influence, the very essence of America, is visible
in our architecture and old European-style churches. Our rich mining heritage,
that drew so many immigrants to our little Pennsylvanian hamlet, was the fuel of
the industrial revolution. This era, earmarked with prodigious innovations and
idealism that were traditionally expressed in both industry and the arts, is still
alive today. Our pristine outdoors, home of America’s precious stores of anthracite
coal, is also lush with forest, mountains, trails and streams. Whether your interests
lean toward historic attractions or outdoor recreation, action-packed events or
cultural offerings; you’ll find it all here in Schuylkill County.
Our unique attractions feature D.G. Yuengling & Sons; American’s oldest brewery,
anthracite mining heritage that fueled the industrial revolution including the
Pioneer Tunnel & the Museum of Anthracite Mining, Jerry’s Classic Cars &
Collectibles Museum, walking tours, The Appalachian Trail, the pristine nature of
Hawk Mountain and its 200 degree panorama atop the famed North Lookout,
and the authentically restored 1874 Tamaqua Railroad Station.
Schuylkill County boasts of a variety of the best in outdoor recreation including
the Schuylkill River, three state parks, one county park, campgrounds, hiking,
fishing, hunting, kayaking, golfing, biking, and much more. If you are intrigued by
interesting history, lured by the beauty of the outdoors, or simply looking for a
relaxing adventure just beyond the hustle and bustle of the Poconos,
Philadelphia or PA Dutch Country, then Schuylkill County is the natural choice.
One visit may surprise you,
Regina Gargano,
Executive Director, Schuylkill County Visitors’ Bureau
