Penndale is one of the loveliest of the ancient meeting houses in Pennsylvania, lying well displayed along the hillside with the burial ground beyond. This meeting was, since early settlement just before 1800, a "Preparative Meeting" with a few other meetings who helped each other and collectively called themselves Muncy Meeting (but not in the boro of Muncy). In 1988 Pennsdale established itself as an independent, Monthly Meeting and has enjoyed growth since.

Pennsdale is perhaps more oriented toward the mystical tradition than are some meetings. There is usually midweek meeting at 7 on Wednesdays. (Please call Jane Keller at 321-9429 to make sure that worship is being held). Pennsdale members are also regular participants in a Friends worship group at the state prison for women at Muncy. A special event is the Christmas candle-lit carol singing held each year with Pennsdale village neighbors.

To reach Pennsdale from Williamsport or from I-80 on the east bank of the Susquehanna take I-180 to the Halls-Pennsdale exit. Turn east on US 220 and within a mile, look for a Y as you approach Pennsdale Village; bear left to the main street of Pennsdale. The meetinghouse is on a hill on your left. Meeting for worship starts at 11.
