Welcome to Johnsonburg!
|
We're a small town full
of friendly people located within Elk County in Northwestern PA. Generations of families have lived and worked in our community and we are still a place where people know their neighbors. We enjoy four beautiful seasons and have glorious foliage each fall. Small town pride is still here and we invite you to share it with us! |
