LeRaysville
The
majority of the region's Amish community resides in the LeRaysville
area. Their horse-drawn carriages are a common sight along the local
roadways. Yesterday's charming architecture is reflected in the
town's older homes and community bandstand. The area is known for
excellent deer hunting, numerous other outdoor activities, the LeRaysville
Cheese Factory, Gibbs Perennial Gardens, an annual Labor Day Celebration
and Summer Bluegrass Music Festival.
LeRaysville was named after an early land baron, LeRay deChaumont,
a French gentleman, who was sole owner of 86,000 acres of land which
included large portions of present day Bradford, Susquehanna and
Wyoming Counties.
