Kelsey Academy of Tioga
2023-11-10, 2023-11-09, 2023-11-08, 2023-11-07, 2023-11-06 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is thrilled to announce a continuing education opportunity offered by Phil and Nancy Hesser, the Kelsey Academy of Tioga (KAT), a one-week program of talks on a variety of subjects to promote lifelong learning for our neighbors by our neighbors.
KAT’s inaugural program will offer 12 sessions showcasing the experiences and ideas of a cross-section of people in the county. On Nov. 6, 7, 9 and 10, the talks will take place in the studio of the Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center in Wellsboro and on Nov. 8 at the History Center on Main Street in Mansfield.
Topics will include history and heritage, writing, gardening, filmmaking, health, nature, science and journalism. All sessions are free with no reservations needed.
“The Kelsey Academy of Tioga takes its name and purpose from two generations of the Kelsey family,” Phil said. “From ‘Squire’ Daniel Kelsey, one of the founders of the Wellsboro Academy, we learned about the borough creating its first school as a community venture. Anna Kelsey, Daniel’s daughter, who taught at Mansfield Normal School, founded one of the state’s first kindergartens, and served as a missionary in Alaska, reminded us of Tioga County’s long history of people sharing their experience and knowledge.”
“So in the spirit of Daniel and Anna Kelsey, as well as the Wellsboro Chautauqua, which held one-week programs here between 1916 and 1929, we invited our new neighbors and acquaintances to give talks at the first Kelsey Academy,” Nancy said. “We’ve been very happy, but not surprised, with the positive response.”

The Canyon Waterfall Geology Hike
2023-11-04 09:00 - 13:00 | Darling Run Access Area, State Route 362, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
Register by Phone On or Before Thursday, Nov. 2 for The Canyon Waterfall Geology Hike on Saturday, Nov. 4
Based on the response to this hike in June, it’s being offered again! Please note, this is an encore and will be a repeat of the same hike and excellent information provided on the last hike.
Explore the waterfalls along the lower Turkey Path on your quest to unlock the geologic secrets of the PA Grand Canyon. The one-mile round trip hike up about 400 vertical feet (half way) of the trail will be led by both park staff and professional geologists from DNCR’s Bureau of Geological Survey. The hike begins at the base of the canyon, where the Lock Haven Formation is exposed. These rocks were deposited approximately 380 million years ago as sediment on the edge of an ancient sea and contain fossils of marine organisms. As the hike progresses, the exposed rock will be progressively younger and transition into the shoreline and alluvial plane deposits of the Catskill Formation, effectively transporting participants through time and space of the geologic history of the gorge.
This program is well-suited for those curious about the ancient past of the gorge and those willing and able to complete the strenuous hike. Registrants will meet by 9am in the Darling Run parking lot for the Pine Creek Trail (rail trail), be bussed approximately 3.5 miles to the base of the trail below Leonard Harrison State Park where the program will begin. After a brief introduction, the group will climb slowly, learning along the way to a point about ½ way up the path and near the upper waterfall. Participants should wear proper footwear and layered clothing for the hike. A small backpack, water and snacks are also encouraged. Those interested should register online or by calling 570-724-3061. Spaces are limited and the deadline to register is Thursday Nov. 2. In the event of inclement weather, this program will be cancelled.

Seasons of the Soul Exhibit
2023-11-04 - 2023-11-26 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the November Main Gallery exhibit “Seasons of the Soul” photography by Shannon Davis. It will open with a reception from 2-4PM on Saturday, November 4th. The reception is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served. This is Shannon’s first solo exhibit. It includes color, black and white, and kaleidoscopic photos. It will be on display until Sunday, November 26th.
Shannon graduated from Wellsboro High School in 1999 and has been taking photographs since her early teens. She loved photography class and developing her own photos in high school. Shannon has always taken tons of photos, even back in the old film days. She has spent the last twenty years working in Ansonia for the Mountain Trail Horse Center, the Burning Barrel Bar, Pine Creek Outfitters, and currently Ole’ Covered Wagon Tours as a driver. Her work in the beautiful Pine Creek Valley has given her access to many unique perspectives and situations.
Shannon’s “Seasons of the Soul” display is a collection of images from the last decade – usually just a moment in time in the superfast pace of life. Shannon finds that the little things can hold the most beauty. Most of her photographs are taken using that camera we all have these days – a cell phone. Shannon states that it seems sometimes the season of change is the only constant. Shannon’s photography can be seen on Facebook or Instagram under Grand Shanyon Photography.

How did Mansfield State College alum Ronald Keith Hartman – a music major and aspiring singer – end up with a role in Night of the Living Dead (1968), an iconic, low-budget, and hugely influential horror film famous for its graphic portrayal of flesh-eating zombies? Why did the film’s director, George Romero, consider Hartman to be “our celebrity . . . our showbiz cat”?
