a few moments in your cross-country drive and allow yourself to go back
150 years in time. A good portion of downtown Brookville including some
300 buildings, has been preserved or restored to its 19th Century
appearance. Old timey shops, street lamps, the flavor is all there. A
short but very interesting walking tour has been designed - pick up the
guide sheet at the Chamber of Commerce.
One very
special attraction is their Victorian Christmas Celebration held the first
weekend of December each year. It is almost like being whisked into the
pages of a Dickens novel. They even have carolers on the street. Contact
the Chamber for more information at 1-814-849-8448 or visit their web site
