Looking for a fun area to spend some time. Best of all, looking to spend this time in a Castle? Well, if you're passing through Allegany, NY, you've come to the right place. Featuring the Castle Cinema, Castle Motel, and famous Castle Restaurant, what more could aspiring princes and princesses look for?

Seems like that was then and this is now.
