Autumn Foliage
Smethport’s brilliant autumn foliage that peaks in brightness
around Columbus Day attract thousands of visitors every autumn. Brightly
colored maple trees line Main Street and paint a cover of quaint
charm as a backdrop for the town’s historic mansions, and busy
business district.
The hills are aglow in magical hues that captivate the spirit and
beckon Smethport natives around the country for a “homecoming”.
It is a special time of year for these country folk. It signals the
sacred time for family, friends, and pulling back to their roots.
It becomes a spiritual pilgrimage of universal importance.
Photographers are out doing photos everywhere during the season.
They wander the streets of town in search of unique photos of small-town
life, or climb the hills for a birds-eye view of the rugged hills
and narrow valleys that are filled with color. They hike along the
meandering brooks that mark the valley floors. They take drives along
old dirt roads lined with farm houses and other examples of Americana.
