The road you are thinking of is not the old 422 - it is Route 724 and splits off of Route 23 right after crossing out of the Borough of Phoenixville into East Vincent Township. Route 23 goes through Chester County into Lancaster County and Morgantown. Route 724 runs through Chester County and into the Pottstown area. It is the road in Pottstown where Mt. Zion Cemetery is located. After talking to my cousin in Pottstown tonight, Ridge Pike (the old 422, Ben Franklin Highway, etc.) runs from the intersection of Route 29 and the Germantown Pike in Collegeville through Montgomery County to Trappe (intersection with Route 113), then through Limerick and into Pottstown. By the time they get to Pottstown Route 724 and the old Route 422 are not far apart with one running on each side of the new Route 422 limited access road. Hope this helps.

Or is it 20 that goes to Morgantown? ANd to bring this discussion around again, if I remember correctly, wouldnt' the Seven Stars be on the old 422 after you get through Phoenixville?

If memory serves me correctly Ridge Pike in Montgomery County runs west after going through the towns mentioned and goes through Collegeville, Trappe and Limerick before reaching Pottstown. I think my cousin who lives in Pottstown described as the old highway 422 which was guite busy until they built the new limited access road was built.

It was an incredible place, but I just don't remember where it was, other than Montgomery County.
