Penn-Craft Historic District
Penn-Craft Historic District is a national historic district located at Luzerne Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 108 contributing buildings, 7 contributing sites, and 6 contributing structures in the subsistence homestead community of Penn-Craft. The planned community was first built between 1937 and 1943 by the American Friends Service Committee, as a community for unemployed miners. In addition to two pre-Penn Craft dwellings, contributing buildings include remaining frame "temporary" houses, 50 stone houses, knitting factory, cooperative store, and a frame barn.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
When the June 2012 Mid-Atlantic and Midwest derecho passed through southwestern Pennsylvania on June 29, 2012, the community's store was destroyed by a fire resulting from a lightning strike.
