Wellsville's Riverside


The collage above consists of 12 pictures of Riverside Avenue as seen from the West Virginia shoreline. Taking a drive down WV Rt.2 last Sunday to check water levels a light went off when we discovered the views of Wellsville we could see from over there. Even on a rainy, overcast day we were impressed with the way our hometown looked. We got to thinking if we could catch a day with the morning sun and no leaves on the trees we could get some nice shots.

Yesterday the Good Lord and Ma Nature co-operated and we spent a few hours walking up and down the river side taking several pictures. Below is a series of five landmarks we're all familiar with that we singled out. Driving past many of these landmarks practically every day we're familiar with them all. They look a lot different from over there.

Many of the houses and buildings shown in the collage are some of the oldest homes and businesses in the village. They were built for families of workers, tradesmen and businessmen that made Wellsville some place special. Many of them are rich in Wellsville history.

You can click on any picture to enlarge for a better look.

We bet there's a lot of people living over there that are envious...

What can be seen of Wellsville from the river or West Virginia is very pretty! Did the WV drive with my husband and kids last year. It's beautiful!
