Why You Should Explore Our Town During Penn State New Student Orientation
Bellefonte, PA, is a charming Victorian town located just 9-miles from Penn State University. Talleyrand Park, antique shops, restaurants, and many historical sites are within walking distance of the Reynolds Mansion Bed and Breakfast.
Stop by Big Spring Spirits, a local distillery, for a cocktail or Good Intent Cider for some hard cider. Bellefonte is also home to a lovely art museum and if you’re into family ancestry, walk over to the Centre County Library’s Historical Museum. It’s free and super informative.
