The 2nd Annual Delaware County Gallery Tour will create a full day event enabling visitors from outside the local area, including surrounding states, to be welcome to drive through participating towns and villages, enjoying the magnificent fall foliage and countrysides, while en route to galleries spread throughout Delaware County.
