Located inside the Penn Well Hotel is a sight worth visiting: the Corning Glass Bulb Flag. In the 1940s Corning Glass was the largest producer of Christmas lights in the Wellsboro, Pennsylvania area. Corning held a service dinner in 1946 to honor World War II veterans and wanted a special backdrop for their event. They created a large seven by eleven-foot American flag out of 1,438 Christmas bulbs. After the event, the flag was displayed in Corning, New York, and then New York City before it was returned to Wellsboro. In 1959, It was updated to add bulbs representing Alaska and Hawai'i. Having been featured in Life magazine in 1960, it is worthy of a visit.
