Morgantown Rod & Gun Club

Morgantown Rod & Gun Club isn't trying to be something it's not. It's a limited membership club tucked in the Pennsylvania hills between Morgantown and Honey Brook—the kind of place where you walk in and get a sincere greeting, a firm handshake, and the feeling that comes from being among people who actually share your interests.

"Just like the towns, our club has a small, comfortable and friendly feeling."
