Tioga County Historical Society is a short distance away from the Fest venue, within walking distance if you are somewhat spry. When I and some family visited Wellsboro 4 years ago we stopped in hoping to find some family related info. I happened to notice there was an exhibit of artifacts and other materials on George Washington Sears who wrote in the 1800's under the pen name Nessmuk. Wellsboro was his home at his death and for some years before. Its worth seeing for those interested in such things but I don't know if its still displayed. The TCHS is run by volunteers and is very informal.
