They were significant landowners, and the family prospered through their involvement in the timber and tobacco industries. By the late 1800's, Gurden Pumpelly had achieved great success as a leaf tobacco farmer and dealer, and at the turn of the 19th century, he decided to retire with his wife to their grand new home in town,.Today the house stands as one of the area's most prominent and historic homes, and for several years has served as a popular bed and breakfast and wedding destination. Visitors to the Pumpelly House Estate can experience a taste of elegant Victorian life when they stay at this historic home situated prominently on New York's Path Through History.Photos Courtesy of:Tioga County Historical Society
