The Great Warriors Path |
||
|
The Great Warriors Path travels from present day Athens (then known as Tioga) to Sunbury (then known as Shamokin). This path was used in both times of war and in times of peace. It was often frequented by Iroquois ambassadors who were traveling south. Today, The Great Warriors Path is followed by S.R. 1043 from Athens to North Towanda; U.S. 6 through Towanda and Wysox, over the Wyalusing Rocks, and through Wyalusing, Meshoppen, and Tunkhannock; Pa. 92 through Falls; U.S. 11 through Kingston, West Nanticoke, Shickshinny, Berwick, Bloomsburg, Danville, and Northumberland; and Pa. 147 across the East Branch of the Susquehanna to Sunbury. |
