• Step back in time in the beautifully preserved and maintained Penn Wells Hotel lobby, which has been welcoming guests since 1869. Once a mid-way stopping point for train and later bus service between New York City and Chicago, the Philadelphia Inquirer called the Penn Wells Hotel the “gem of the Roosevelt Highway.”

• Discover a piece of Americana in the lobby: a one-of-a-kind, seven-by-eleven foot American flag made of 1,438 glass Christmas bulbs produced in Wellsboro’s Corning Glass Works plant. The flag was designed to honor area veterans and also to represent the local plant, which was, at the time, the world’s largest manufacturer of Christmas tree ornaments.

• Learn more about Wellsboro’s history in the hotel’s grand dining room, which features 70 black-and-white photos that date from the 1800s through the 1960s. Those brilliant images highlight the landmarks and people of the Wellsboro area. Make sure to pick up a copy of the printed guide at the front desk to begin the tour.
