Local Museums & Landmarks
The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Station is on the National Register of Historic Places, as is the Coverdale Cobblestone House and, in Cuylerville, the National Hotel. A tractor museum is on Route 39. The closest major landmark is the Mount Morris Dam, which is said to be the largest dam of its type in the eastern United States. Letchworth State Park, of course, is a major attraction on its own. |
