An Art Deco cinema, Bucknell’s art museum and the Buffalo Valley Rail Trail connect cultural life with the countryside around Lewisburg.
Lewisburg’s cultural life moves between its town center and Bucknell University. The Campus Theatre, opened in 1941, preserves an Art Deco setting for a continuing film program. A visit depends on what is being screened, giving this historic interior a present-day purpose rather than treating it only as a landmark.
Samek Art Museum broadens that conversation across two locations: a campus gallery in the Elaine Langone Center and a downtown space on Market Street. Changing exhibitions determine what visitors will encounter, and the two venues should not be assumed to have the same show or identical access arrangements. Their connection allows art to become part of exploring both the university and the town.

Following a former railway corridor through an agricultural landscape, the 9.3-mile trail introduces another part of the region’s working history. Choose an out-and-back distance or arrange transportation according to how you want to use it, checking current trail notices first.
