Art Thrives on 45

In addition to being known as the Purple Heart Highway, Route 45 is also well-known for its bustling art and artisan culture. From Mooresburg in the east to the village of Water Street in the west, Route 45 traverses some of Pennsylvania's most stunning countryside and is home to a wealth of artists and craftsmen working in both contemporary and traditional styles.

Your journey will take you through the many historic towns and villages that are located along Route 45. Mooresburg, Lewisburg, Mifflinburg, Aaronsburg, Centre Hall, Millheim, Boalsburg, Pine Grove Mills and Spruce Creek offer visitors many opportunities to enjoy historic architecture, museums, heritage and cultural events, quaint shops, and glimpses of Pennsylvania life before the advent of the superhighway. If you’re looking to connect one-on-one with a local artist, enjoy some unique eateries and shops, and stay at a quaint B&B along the way, this is the roadtrip for you.
