Stonycreek Township, Township in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
Stonycreek Township covers about 61 square miles of land in Somerset County, with the Stony Creek forming its western border. The area contains forests, fields, and several small communities connected by a network of local roads.
Native Americans called the area Sinne-Hanne or Achsin-Hanne, referring to the swift mountain stream flowing through rocky terrain. European settlers arrived later and organized the township as part of Somerset County.
The Flight 93 National Memorial inside the township honors the passengers and crew who stopped further attacks on September 11, 2001. Visitors can walk through the memorial and understand the courage shown by those on board that flight.
The township administration opens on weekdays during morning and afternoon hours to provide municipal services. Visitors can navigate using public roads and reach the memorial or rural areas without special arrangements.
The township includes several transportation routes, among them Pennsylvania Route 31 and the historic Lincoln Highway along its borders. These routes connect the area to larger towns and follow paths used for over a century.
