Living in Pennsylvania means variety. When we’re in the mood for fast-paced excitement, we can find it in big cities, like Philly and Pittsburgh. If we want to chase waterfalls, we have hundreds just waiting for our visit. And when we really just want to get away from it all, we certainly have no shortage of small towns that will help us do just that. For an enchanting getaway, where you’ll feel far from the busyness of daily life, make your way to the charming small town of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania.
A leisurely drive along Route 6 in North Central Pennsylvania invariably leads to the enchanting small town of Wellsboro, a slice of yesteryear with its quaint downtown and breathtaking natural beauty.
Life in Wellsboro offers a precious glimpse of what once was - the friendliness and slower pace of small-town life - and the opportunity to relax and recharge.
If it's your first time in this picturesque small town, introduce yourself with a stroll down Main Street, where you might feel as though you've stepped right into a Norman Rockwell Painting.
Stroll through the downtown area, which is lit with Victorian gas lights, where you'll happen upon shop after shop. You never know what treasures you'll find.
The four-screen theater shows all of the latest blockbusters as well as old classics.
Relax by the fountain at The Green on Main Street. However, if you're up for an adventure, drive over to Leonard Harrison State Park or Colton Point State Park.
Both offer hiking trails and scenic overlooks with breathtaking views of Pine Creek Gorge, just as well-known as The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
Every season promises a bustle of activities and events, but Christmastime just might be the most magical. That's when Wellsboro hosts the annual Annual Dickens of A Christmas and Christmas on Main Street.
