Before leaving Wellsboro, we stopped at the Dunham Department Store. Founded in 1905, Dunham’s is the only department store in Pennsylvania still owned by the original family. The store extends halfway down Main St., but is definitely showing its age. We were afraid to get on the old elevator, but we walked up the stairs to […]

We headed back north today with one more stopover in Wellsboro, PA., the gateway to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. I love how every little town has its own claim to fame. We had hiked the canyon trails on our last visit here, so this time we decided to take the scenic train ride. The […]

One lady I spoke to thought it would be starting in November, and I wanted to make sure I got a picture of it before its demise. This 100+ year old structure had last […]

I did more stepping into the past today with a visit to the Charlotte Cemetery. It’s a place I’d been meaning to get to for a long time, but never seemed to pass on my walks. Actually it’s fairly easy to find – next to Riverview highrise apartments on River St. – across the street from the […]
