Train Excursions to Curtin

​In its heyday, Curtin was quite the place. Well-heeled relations, friends, and acquaintances of the Curtins often traveled to and from Curtin by rail. The Curtins had a set day of the week to receive visitors. In turn, the Curtin women would go to Bellefonte to visit or shop, but they were also well-traveled –  to Philadelphia, New York, the West, or international destinations..  
 
Here, an undated and uncaptioned photo from the Curtin Mansion Archives shows a stylish woman and several others at the railroad station. The styles would have been in vogue 1902-1908.

Make your own Curtin history. Come for a tour of Eagle Iron Works and Curtin Village by train on Sunday July 7.  The Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society will operate excursions, departing from Bellefonte’s Talleyrand Park for a 30-minute ride to Curtin and returning to Bellefonte after a one-hour stay.
