Rich62 Says: Just seeing the hmes around town gives you an idea about what the town is like. Here are a few snapshots.
Rich62 Says: Well we were only there briefly in September 2011 so don't know a lot about the town except that it has a visitor center, an Applebees, a hospital, and an "Autumn Leaf Festival", presumably in the autumn. Oh yes, they have the Clarion County Fair in late July and they also...
Ewingjr98 Says: Located immediately behind the courthouse in Clarion is the county prison. This structure was began in 1873 and construction was completed in 1875 at a cost of over $120,000. The front half of the jail was built of red brick and it features an imposing 97 foot tall square...
Ewingjr98 Says: Pennsylvania is filled with forests of deciduous hardwood trees and cool, crisp fall weather, perfect for spectacular leaves in the autumn. Cool places in the state to check out the leaves are focused on "Pennsylvania's Great Outdoors" -- Clarion, Jefferson, Elk, Forest, and...
Clarion County Veterans Memorial Park
Ewingjr98 Says: Clarion County Veterans Memorial Park is just across the street from Clarion's most obvious landmark: the courthouse. The park includes a large gazebo plus the Clarion County Veterans Monument, the Civil War Memorial, the WWII Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam...
Ewingjr98 Says: Clarion County was created in 1839 from parts of neighboring Venango and Armstrong Counties, and Clarion borough is the seat of Clarion County. The first courthouse in Clarion was completed in 1843 but burned in 1859. The second courthouse was constructed in 1863, and this...

Ewingjr98 Says: Deb's Diner is just a small place for locals to grab lunch or perhaps ice cream in the summer. The meals are simple, but big and hearty and very inexpensive. They their open faced roast beef sandwich, spaghetti or chicken and biscuits. Fish is always a staple on Friday, as...
Ewingjr98 Says: Bob's Sub is a great small-town sub shop with excellent service and great food. The sandwiches are fresh, tasty, and affordable. This little shop has been in this prime location across from the Clarion Courthouse forever. I think I first ate here 20 years ago, and even then...
Ewingjr98 Says: Fox's Pizza has a store in Clarion, and they used to have a location in Tylersburg. As kids we often had pizza from here because it was closer and cheaper than Pizza Hut. Their menu includes pizzas, sandwiches, wedgies, and appetizers. Fox's pizza was began in 1971 by Jim...
Pizza Pub - Main Street Clarion
Ewingjr98 Says: The Pizza Pub on Main Street has long been one of my favorite restaurants in town. Great pizza and sandwiches along with cheap draft beer. Can't be beat. The only problem with the Pizza Pub is that it gets so busy you might have to wait a bit for a table, especially if you...
Like most college towns Clarion has several good options for nightlife. The most popular among the younger crowd are the Captain Loomis Inn, the Tavern, the Pizza Pub, and the University Inn. Some of the newer places are the Toby Hill Bar and Grill and the Main Event Sports Bar. Or you can head over to Lucinda's fine drinking emporiums like the Dew Drop and BK's Bar.

Trader Horn, the regional junk store
Ewingjr98 Says: Trader Horn has 10 locations in central Western Pennsylvania between Pittsburgh and Interstate-80, with one store in Clarion, just a hair north of I-80. The store has just about everything you can imagine from hardware and housewares to foods and kids toys. Most of the store...
Beer drive-throughs in Clarion???!!!
Ewingjr98 Says: Pennsylvania has some of the worst, most convoluted alcohol sales laws in the country. Only the state owned liquor stores can sell wine or hard liquor, and they are not allowed to sell beer. Luckily the no-beer on Sundays rule changed recently. Don't even think about buying...
The 2010 Autumn Leaf Festival runs from 25 September to 3 October. This is the 57th annual event, which first took place in 1953 as part of the Clarion University football team's homecoming. The 9-day event attracts about 300,000 people to the Clarion area each year, particularly for the big parade on the last day of the event. The parade is so big, it is said to be the state's largest daytime parade.
Other events and attractions at Autumn Leaf include 25+ food vendors, carnival rides, a miss teen Autumn Leaf pageant, farmers and crafters days, the university's homecoming football game, a motorcycle show, and an antique tractor show.

Ewingjr98 Says: In Clarion County, it has been estimated that one deer is killed by a car each day. Not only does this mean a lot of dead deer, but each deer strike causes thousands of dollars in damage to your vehicle. Be alert, especially at dusk. If you see one deer run across the road,...
Rabbityama Says: When driving to Clarion on US-322, be sure to drive carefully. The roads are extremely windy, and if you're not careful, it is very easy to loose control or cut a corner too late and end up in the other lane. Pay close attention to the signs that tell you when a turn is...
PA Game Commission's Pheasant Pharm
Ewingjr98 Says: PA's history with pheasants dates back to the late 1800s when local citizens introduced the birds in the state for hunting. In 1915 the Game Commission got involved with stocking pheasants in an effort to create a self-sustaining population. In 1929 the Game Commission...
Nearby Historic Brookville, PA
Ewingjr98 Says: Brookville is a town founded on the lumber and logging industry. Its first settlers arrived around 1790, and the town's first house was built in 1801. The area's loggers used the area streams and rivers to float logs down to Pittsburgh and beyond. The town was established in...
See you pee - Clarion University of Pennsylvania
Ewingjr98 Says: Clarion University of Pennsylvania is the livelihood of much of Clarion. Located right downtown, the school's 6,500 students provide regular foot traffic and steady income to the bars, shops, and restaurants on Main Street in Clarion. Without the university, Clarion would be...
Ewingjr98 Says: Newbie, or more formally New Bethlehem, has nothing much to do with old Bethlehem or Jesus. What the town of just over 1,000 does have is a Smuckers Peanut Butter factory and an annual Peanut Butter Festival in September. This small town 20 miles from the county seat of...
