Seven governors have called Bellefonte their home
and this is a source of pride to the residents there.
Governors:
Packer
Beaver
Bigler (x2)
Walker
Packer
Curtin
Their names adorn the streets here
as well as the campus of Penn State University
just 12 miles to the southwest.
Bellefonte is the county seat
of Centre County, Pennsylvania.
I guess all those governors
were inspired by local government.
Another draw to Bellefonte
are the 296 Victorian era buildings
that fill the historic district.
walking distance from the Historic District,
is definitely worth a visit
while you are in town.
It is beautiful,
with the Spring Creek,
paths and bridges.
We were staying in State College
and made a day trip to Bellefonte.
You can easily walk the historic district,
enjoy the park,
make a stop at Big Springs Distillery,
(great for cocktails)
and visit the local art museum
in one day.
If you have extra time
take a walk along the
6.3 mi out and back.
But what I didn't know about until after we left
which is just 9 minutes out of town.
I think we would have liked a visit there.
Let me know how it is if you go!
