Pennsylvania Route 894 (PA 894) is a decommissioned Pennsylvania state route. It was established in 1928, starting at what is now US 22. At the time PA 894 was established, US 22 was PA 43. From 1928 to 1936, PA 894 ran from it's southern terminus at PA 43 north through Linglestown. PA 894 then turned to the east, at what is know known as Linglestown Road, ending just outside of Linglestown.
In 1936, PA 39 was established, creating a concurrency between PA 39 and PA 894, starting in Linglestown at the square, headed east out of Linglestown. PA 894 was also extended, making a northerly turn off PA 39 on what is now known as Piketown Road. PA 894 then ran through Piketown, over Blue Mountain, and ending at PA 443, today called Fishing Creek Valley Road.
In 1946, however, PA 894 was decommissioned. The section of PA 894 from US 22 to PA 39 was given a quadrant route number. That section of road is known today as Mountain Road. The Piketown Road section also was given a quadrant route number. PA 39 was not decommissioned.
