Description

Wellsboro; the county seat of Tioga County; owes much of its vitality to dense forests; abundant wildlife; and mountainous terrain. Named by the National Park Service as a Natural Landmark in 1968; nearby Pine Creek Gorge was introduced by George Washington Sears; better known as ldquo;Nessmuk;rdquo; in 1860 and later publicized as ldquo;the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.rdquo; A weeklong Laurel Festival; organized in 1938; celebrates the canyon; the state flower; and Wellsboro. The Laurel Parade and the Laurel Queen coronation conclude the festivities each year. Wellsboro also owes its long-term prosperity to agriculture; logging; mining; and industry; all of which have contributed to the townrsquo;s economic survival and growth. Corning Glass Works; a shining example of industrial innovation; made Wellsboro ldquo;the Christmas Bulb Capital of the World.rdquo; Described as quaint; Wellsboro is often compared to a New England village. In addition to a row of antique gaslights lining the boulevard; the Penn-Wells Hotel; the Arcadia Theatre; and Dunhamrsquo;s Department Store; all of which date to the early 1900s; add to Main Streetrsquo;s charm; while the Green features a fountain statue of ldquo;Wynken; Blynken; and Nod.rdquo;
