Clarion, Pennsylvania

 

All Photographs Copyright © 2012 by Robert E. Pence

 

I stayed overnight in Clarion during my visit to the annual June show at Coolspring Power Museum. My only

opportunities to photograph Clarion were on the evening of my arrival and the next morning en route to

Coolspring. I didn't make it to any residential areas of the town, or to the campus of

Clarion University of Pennsylvania.

The present Clarion County Courthouse was built 1883-1884

The fortress-like old Clarion County Prison was built 1872-1874. It has been replaced by a facility in nearby

Shippenville.

Nice!!

 

I've been by there on I80 maybe 100 times. I know that it's home of the Clipper restaurant, and you get their college station in for ten minutes or so.

 

Never once have I stopped but maybe next time I will. Very charming little place. Thanks for posting.

That's a sharp bus for such a small town.  Thanks.

Clarion looks like a nice place!  Great photos rob!

Very nice!  I was there a couple years ago on business - looks better than I remember!
