Its just a small corner in town but the artistry of using glass to create sculptures. There are colorful panels that are of important images that are 16 feet in height. There's also a glass archway that is the entrance to the area from the street.  Old Jail Museum Smethport,Pa. This is the original jail house and was converted to a museum  in 2003. Oh and according to Pursuits Magazine it is the 6th most haunted place in Pennsylvania. And like any good jail it has a dungeon. Kinzua Bridge State Park is the home of the Kinzua Viaduct. The Viaduct was once the longest and tallest railroad structure before it was p
