Smethport

Smethport was once the heart of McKean County's "Millionaire's Row," where lumber and oil barons built opulent Victorian mansions during the late 1800s. Today, Smethport is a leading destination for heritage tourism, featuring the Mansion District Self-Guided Walking Tour. The town is also home to Hamlin Lake Park and the Old Jail Museum, which chronicles the region's pioneer and industrial history. It remains a quiet, scenic stop along the historic Route 6 corridor.
