Disappointed to see the fountain was not working when we visited. Worth a quick stop, parking behind the statue and walk on the other side of adjacent murals to a small park with bench near the river.
[Tara, 09/01/2014]In the same location as the "Boy and the Boot" statue there are dozens of beautifully painted murals that apparently depict the town's history. It is an excellent place to take a nice stroll by the crystal-clear water.
[Carla, 05/30/2014]The Boy With the Boot has adorned the north entry to Wellsville City (now a village) since I was a child. It had been vandalized or flood damaged and in storage for a number of years, and has recently been restored by the Peter Amato Trust and dedicated as a memorial to Mr. Amato. It is cast metal and streams water just as depicted in the web site.
