Go Nuts in Olean

One of Olean’s most distinctive attractions is Woodland in the City, a public art trail featuring nearly 30 life-sized fiberglass squirrels displayed throughout downtown and local neighborhoods. Each squirrel is uniquely designed with its own theme, celebrating Olean’s history, businesses, and community spirit. Visitors can turn exploring the city into a scavenger hunt while discovering local shops, restaurants, parks, and public spaces along the way.

More than a public art installation, Woodland in the City supports the Historical & Preservation Society of Olean and reflects the community’s commitment to preserving local history while creating memorable experiences for residents and visitors alike. Whether you’re strolling downtown or spending the weekend exploring, the squirrel trail offers a fun and uniquely Olean way to experience the city.
