Historic Bellefonte Victorian Homes Tour

Historic Bellefonte is one of the best preserved historic towns to be found anywhere in the United States. The pride and loving care that residents bestow on their properties and the degree to which the whole town has been preserved, becomes very apparent in the pristine streets, well-kept landscaping and perfectly detailed and painted residences. This level of care and thoughtfulness regarding preservation is most ap-parent in the opulent Victorian homes that were originally a reflection of the enormous wealth amassed by the ironmasters and their familiars, manufacturers who lived in town and the lawyers, bankers, physicians and other professionals who served their needs. Today, these properties are residents cherished family homes, many of which who have lived here since birth and are descendants of the pioneers and ironmas-ters who settled here over 200 years ago.

The tour of Victorian era homes will take you past nearly 60 structures built between 1850 and 1900. You will be able to tour three of the homes which are now Bed and Breakfasts, to admire the interior detailing up close and personal.
