Drums, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States
- Population:2,504
Drums is an unincorporated community in Butler Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Located about 1,500 feet (460 m) altitude in the Sugarloaf Valley, it is situated east of Interstate 81 and north of Nescopeck Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River. The village was originally named "Drum's" after the Drum family, whose members developed the village's first school, post office, hotels, churches, roads, and businesses. Family members held positions as pioneers, land developers, justices of the peace, postmasters, school presidents, educators, tailors, shoe makers, hotel proprietors, lawyers, and Pennsylvania state legislators. The original Drums Post Office building still remains also, but is now a business center still located directly across the road from the Drums Hotel. During the 1960s the post office operation was moved next to the hotel into a newer brick building. The Drum Post Office operated there up until the early 21st century when it closed due to the 2008 national economic collapse. In addition to the St. Johns Church and cemetery founded in 1799, George Drum was also a founding member of the church. Other family members are buried at Drums Community Cemetery and Conyngham Union Cemetery and are all buried at St. John's Cemetery, Drums. The Drum family legend says that George survived and went on to develop the town of Drums when he reached maturity in the late 18th century.
