Pop in. Why not? Experience a small slice of Americana alongside the retro (now middle-aged) head-bangers, valley girls, preps, skaters and Goths in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. Psych! This short stroll through the retail space is evocative of an epoch whereby old-fashioned board games and print material objects were a thing. Gag me with a spoon! Even if you do not intend to buy something, take a chill pill and look around. No duh. Totally. The arrangement and merchandise are of interest. Good night, John-Boy.

A few months ago we ordered the Totally Ninja Racoons series written by the owner of this bookstore. In the books, he mentions several area attractions. My twin boys and I traveled from NY State to make a mini vacation all about the Totally Ninja Racoons. We visited the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, the fountain in the center of town, and Nessmunk Lake, among others. Our favorite stop was visiting the bookstore and meeting the author and his wife. They were wonderful, answered all the questions two eight year old boys could have, took photos with the boys, and even let them play with the two bookstore cats, Huck and Finn (who are also in the books). My children still talk about the visit and are planning another. Thank you Kevin and Kacey Coolidge!

I begin by saying that I am an novice chocolate maker myself. When I was home with my young son many years ago, I had a small home based business where I made various chocolate and taffy concoctions with a lot of success. I found this small store while going into the building for ice cream. This is not the factory it is a small location shared with an ice cream shop. The woman there was super kind and helpful. She was also a great saleswoman because I left buying much mire than I planned to! My husband chose the Milk Chocolate Tree Stumps which are absolutely the best combination of chocolate, pretzels, Carmel, and peanut butter. The salesperson told me it was a best seller and I was skeptical...but I will revisit on our next 200 mile journey to the area just for those. Of course you can order online but it is such a beautiful area we will be going back anyway. We did not get to take the factory tour about a mile away from the store, however, we will plan to next time. *See the picture advertisement for information! FYI if you are visiting the area...this was one of the few places that was open. Despite many places in the area saying they were open with updated websites and even after we made appointments...there were many places closed. Call first and double check again right before you head in that direction. We traveled over 200 miles to spend a relaxing weekend visiting pls es in the area and half of the places we planned to visit were closed. We were very grateful for places like Highland Chocolates for us to visit!

9. Arcadia Theatre
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 16 reviews
The Arcadia Theatre began entertaining the area in December 1921. The theatre was a one screen seating 900 people. Silent movies were the newest thing, so the theatre was equipped with an organ, piano, and even an orchestra, so musical accompaniment could be provided. In 1929, the Arcadia became one of the first theatres north of the Mason-Dixon line to start showing “talkies”. During the 1980s and early 1990s, when television came to full strength, the theatre started to decline in attendance and condition. In 1996, the decision was made to completely renovate the Arcadia. In celebration of its 75th year, the Arcadia Theatre reopened as a state-of-the-art 4 screen facility, yet preserving the classic look of an old-time cinema. Special features such as Dinner & a Movie and live theatrical shows add to the charm and distinction of the Arcadia. The theatre now thrives with record crowds and the latest films. The Arcadia Theatre will continue to entertain as long as it can.
