Special Section: Bellefonte, Pa
Come Visit Victorian Bellefonte By Gary Hoover Homecoming is a return—a time to relive old memories and make some new ones, perhaps to introduce or re-introduce family and friends to Penn State and the broad Centre County community around it. No trip to Centre County could be complete without visiting Victorian Bellefonte for a change of pace. Bellefonte is steeped in history as the home of seven Governors, as a repository of classic Victorian and earlier archi‑ tecture, as the first stop on the early air mail flights, as the home of the American Philatelic Society’s National Headquarters and Museum, and for its world-famous Big Spring. But Bellefonte is also known for more contemporary treasures. People come for its shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants; for special events like the Bellefonte Car Cruise, the Arts and Crafts Fair or Victorian Christmas; to stroll and picnic in beautiful Tallyrand Park; to take advantage of the best fly fishing town in Pennsylvania or for kayaking, hiking, biking and other outdoor activi‑ ties; for the Fall Foliage or Santa Express train excursions; to take an interest‑ ing and informative self-guided walking tour; or to just relax and renew. Come visit Victorian Bellefonte—it’s not as far from State College as it used to be.
