Eager to compete with the Eric Canal, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania built its Main Line of Public Works, stretching from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The Allegheny Mountain proved to be a barrier to the canal section of the Main Line. This barrier was solved by building one of the most unique railroads in American history...and the first to conquer the Alleghenies.
At the park's Visitor Center, exhibits and the film share the personal and technical sides of the Portage Railroad. Atop the Inclined Plane #6 of the railroad, guests can visit a replica of the Engine House that once stood there. Visitors can observe the restored Lemon House tavern, and experience a piece of 1840's American and Pennsylvanian history. A walk through the woods along railroad's trace is exhilarating. |

| The Compass Inn Museum is an authentically restored 1799-stagecoach stop. It served as a popular Inn for stagecoach travelers on the Philadelphia-Pittsburgh Turnpike during the first half of the 19th century. The original Inn was constructed of logs, and a stone wing was added in 1820. The Inn has been completely restored and furnished with an extensive collection of period pieces.
Enjoy “history with a smile” at the Compass Inn Museum. The informative and entertaining tour, by costumed docents, tells the story of transportation and life in the early 1800s, while relaying a fun dose of word and phrase origins related to our past.
Visit the Compass Inn and step back in time to experience life as our forefathers lived it. |

Feed a llama, take an old fashioned hay ride or just sit on a porch swing under the arbor and relax – the Faranda Farm awaits you.
Our Ag-tourism farm is located in the Laurel Highlands, just off Route 219, which connects many tourist attractions located in Altoona,
Johnstown, Somerset and Fayette Counties. It is not an unusual place to visit, but it will be an unforgettable visit where memories are made.
The 100-year-old barn is a unique back drop with new facilities, a veranda to enjoy lunch, or
offers an evening for dessert and story telling. Our farm is unique from the traditional tourist or lunch stop. Activities are educational as well as hands-on, with plenty of time to play or relax. |

Fallingwater®, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most widely acclaimed works, was designed in 1935 for the family of Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. Dramatically cantilevered over a waterfall, the house, perhaps better than any single work exemplifies Wright’s concept of organic architecture: the harmonious union of art and nature.
Named one of “50 places of a lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler the house is open for tours daily except Wednesdays from mid-March through Thanksgiving weekend. Also open Friday, Saturday and Sunday in December and the week between Christmas and New Years. The Visitors Center includes Museum Store, exhibitions and Café, which offers a variety of group dining options. Interactive programs are available for student groups. Groups should allow a minimum of two hours. |

| Just a few miles southwest of Fallingwater® and high atop a bluff overlooking the Youghiogheny River Gorge stands another Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, the House on Kentuck Knob. The house occupies a special place by virtue of beauty and isolation of its mountain site, the vitality of its plan, and the quality of its materials and construction. A great believer in the beauty of natural materials, Mr. Wright combined the native fieldstone so abundant throughout the property with tidewater red cypress to create a chorus of color and texture that replicates the surrounding landscape. Kentuck Knob, a must see, is privately owned by Lord and Lady Peter Palumbo of London, England who have graciously opened their home for your visit! |

| Visit yesteryear's 1835 "Beacon” and relive the pioneers' journey. Petersburg, Gate 1, is the only original, hand-cut native stone tollhouse still standing along the first federally funded highway. The Cumberland Road passed from federal authorities to states’ becoming the nation's first toll road. Dreams for a better life, pioneers with covered wagons and farm animals entered the tollgate during the great westward emigration. As the Industrial Revolution came, railroad travel was faster and cheaper, leaving the “national road” abandoned. Today, we are still able to experience this “Beacon” of our past because the Daughters of the American Revolution Great Crossings Chapter’s efforts to purchase the tollhouse, delivering it from planned demolition. The Petersburg Tollhouse was placed on the National Registrar of Historical Places in 1976. |

| Johnstown Flood National Memorial shares the story of one of the worst disasters in American history...a disaster in where 2,209 persons died. At the Visitor Center, guests can view a film that chillingly recreates the events of May 31, 1889 and allows the visitor to make an emotional connection with the victims and survivors.
Visitors can also walk atop the ruins of the South Fork Dam, where the flood started, and can walk down a trail into the lakebed of Lake Conemaugh, at the time one of the largest human-made lakes in the United States.
Visitors can also observe the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club (seasonally and staff-permitting) and view the building once visited by Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Mellon. |

| Synonymous with the floods of Johnstown is the Johnstown Inclined Plane. Constructed after the first flood on May 31, 1889, the Incline was built to develop the higher grounds residentially. When floodwaters swept through the Conemaugh and Stonycreek valleys on March 17, 1936 and again on July 20, 1977, it was the Incline that carried men, women, and children to safety. Today, it serves as the historic focal point of our area.
Thousands of national and international travelers have experienced the Incline, billed by the Guinness Book of Records as "The Steepest Vehicular Inclined Plane in the World."
In addition to its panoramic view of the valleys, the Inclined Plane features a restaurant, ice cream shoppe, visitor’s center, and a gift shop. Experience the history first-hand and enjoy the ride! |

| The Ligonier Valley Rail Road Museum is a small Museum located in an original station of the LVRR near Idlewild Park. The station was built around 1896 and the Ligonier Valley Rail Road Association raised funds to restore the station and open it as a Museum. The Museum has displays of artifacts related primarily to the Ligonier Valley Rail Road, some for the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Pittsburgh, Westmoreland and Somerset Railroad. The artifacts consist of lanterns, locks and keys, photographs, passes, signs, tickets, the original ticket dispenser, "yard" tools and many more items. Also located on the property is an original Pennsylvania Railroad "Bobber Caboose" built in 1905 and a twin of the caboose operated by the Ligonier Valley Rail Road. The caboose is open to visitors and has an original PRR stove and other fixtures. Group rates and other discounts are available. |
