Brookville

Listed on the National Register of Historic Towns, Brookville features a beautifully restored Victorian Main Street gaining the town recognition as a Pennsylvania Outstanding Community.

A 90-acre historic district offers self-guided walking tours and turn-of-the-century nostalgia. This is especially evident during the enchanting Victorian Christmas Celebration. The town assumes a Dickens-like atmosphere as sleigh bells ring and carolers sing while ladies and gents, in traditional dress, bustle from store front to store front.

As a gateway to Cook Forest and Clear Creek State Parks, Brookville is virtually surrounded by some of the loveliest laurel fields in the state, making a perfect setting for an annual Laurel Festival.
