 Cameron County has some of the most beautiful churches in the area.  If you have not gazed at the architecture and stained glass windows you are missing out!  Our country churches hold a special treat, some have not changed much in over 100 years!

Many of our one and two room schools from a bygone era are still standing.  Most are used as camps.  In 1880 there were over 40 schools in Cameron County.

In addition to Ridge Road which connects to Route 120 near the Emporium Country Club, there are more than 100 miles of back roads in Cameron County!  Most are in good shape and follow streams.  All offer excellent photo opportunities!  Chances are you will see deer, bear and elk!

August 4-9 Cameron County Fair takes center stage!  This year a survivor contest will highlight the event in addition to a tractor parade!


If you know where to look you can find wild black berries, huckleberries, blueberries, teaberries and more.  The flavor of the wild berries can't be beat!  Remember bears like the berries too!

 

Each July Emporium plays host to the Senior Little League State Baseball Tournament.  Teams from across Pennsylvania vie for the state crown and the right to move onto regional play in New Jersey where they will face off against teams from the entire east coast of the United States.  This year the games start Thursday July 24 and conclude with the championship game on Monday July 28.

For a memorable family day out, pack a picnic lunch and head for Sterling Run.  The Lumber Township playground behind the Little Museum has a nice pavilion with picnic tables, a playground, creek access and round out your day with a visit to the Museum.  The Little Museum is open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  Best of all it is free!
 

August 15-17 Cameron County will host Weekend in the Wilds.  The fun begins Friday night with a wing tasting contest.  Travel from restaurant to restaurant and vote for your favorite wings!  Saturday the David Hutton Walk Run takes off from the Cameron County High School, and downtown in Emporium it is a car, truck, bike show, a bike blessing, battle of the barrel contest, art demonstrations, touch a truck, face painting and lots of food from the local restaurants.  Saturday night it winds down at the Emporium Country Club with an Elvis Impersonator!



Whether you are riding a bicycle, motorcycle, jeep or car the trip around the horn in Cameron and Potter Counties is gorgeous.  Start in Emporium and head south on scenic Route 120 to Sinnemahoning.  Turn North onto Route 872 and stop and look at the Bald Eagles at Sinnemahoning State Park.  Continue north to Austin.  Head back to Emporium over Cowley Hill and cruise Sizerville State Park on Route 155!



Kids of all ages love to catch crayfish and wade in the creeks.  You will find the critters in most any creek in the county.
