Perched on a rock above a gushing waterfall, this historic house was built for a Pittsburgh family by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s, ingeniously designed to blend harmoniously into the tranquil and beautiful woods around it.
Reviewed By LittlePaint - Urbandale, United States
I wish I could have gone inside, but there are so many windows that much of the interior is visible anyway. There was no waiting for the self guided tour and I could have taken a guided tour with only a 90 minute wait. I decided I'd wait for the guided tour until they reopen the interior... And hope I am near enough again to go visit. I would suggest some familiarity with FLWs philosophy and history of your going to take the self guided tour. I think it adds an appreciation and a richness to the tour that would be sorely missing otherwise. A detail I learned with a bit of research is that this unique and amazing house was constructed in 1930, during the depression, as a weekend retreat. Being able to wander the grounds are a nice bonus. The gift shop is open with a limited number allowed inside at a time. Gloves and masks are provided and must be worn. Many items are typical of FLW gift shops. More than worth the price of admission. Oh.... And don't forget to go to the guest house!

Considering 200,000 people are within 1/2 mile of this location during every home Penn State football game & you can stop there & feel like you have the place to yourself is awesome & truly overlooked by many. We stayed the weekend at goPSUrv & visited The Arboretum on a Sunday morning.

Excellent place to rent bikes and take in the beautiful scenery~ the guided white water rafting trips are really fun for a group or a couple! There are hiking trails and places to hang near the water to cool off as well! It’s definitely a yearly fall visit for us!
5. Horseshoe Curve National Historic Landmark
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 556 reviews
An unusual construction of rail-building that enabled trains to move westward.
Reviewed By karenh395 - Warminster, United States
Spent a couple of hours watching trains and having a picnic lunch. There are tables and running space for families with wee ones. A schedule of all the trains coming through, where they originated and where they are headed is available at visitor center On-site there is housed a very interesting and informative history of Horseshoe Curve and how it came to be built and by whom! This is a must see for rail enthusiasts for sure but families and anyone interested in seeing something unique
6. Johnstown Inclined Plane
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 455 reviews
Built to remove citizens from Johnstown in case of a flood, this is the world's steepest vehicular inclined plane.
Reviewed By Pzini - Cherry Hill, United States
This is a real gem- built in 1890 and still operating (with some restoration) in the same original form. The view is great. The ride is unique. If you've already visited the Flood Museum, or Flood National Memorial, the view from the top of Yoder Hill offers a good panorama of Johnstown and the valley that was overwhelmed by the flood. Another good reason to take the ride is the reasonable cost, and the knowledge that the Incline Plane is operated as a non-profit by the Cambria County Transit Authority, and the fare will help them keep this gem operating. If you want to go crazy, you can take your car up to the top with you, and drive around the Westmont neighborhood. Or, if you are a mountain biker, take your bike up, and ride down on the mountain biking trail (no beginners please! See "Friends of the Inclined Plane Trails" on Facebook) There is a snack bar and souvenir shop at the top, and a separate restaurant, Asiago's.
7. Fort Ligonier
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By J288VFrobd
Fort Ligonier is an incredible place with a special history. Despite having a busy highway on one side and a tightly packed residential neighborhood on another, it's easy to ignore the modern intrusions once inside the fort and imagine what life was like for the soldiers, artisans, campfollowers and others who lived in and around the fort during the 1750s and 1760s. The varied reproduction brass artillery pieces and supporting wagons and equipment at the recreated fort are extraordinary and impressive. And the museum and its contents are equally extraordinary and impressive. It covers not only the French and Indian War in North America but also the Seven Years War in Europe, with unique and historically significant artifacts and clothing from both theaters and from the various countries involved in both. Even though the site is off the beaten path, it's well worth a visit!

This well maintained site is a perfect choice for those who are hungry for something to do during the time of social distancing. The spacious, beautifully kept grounds hold a variety of ways to safely visit the past. My granddaughter enjoyed the many activities and talking with and watching the blacksmith, broom maker, basket weaver, candle maker, and the informative resident of cabin #1. No need to wait for a special event for the Village tour itself is a fun way to revisit and learn about the past.
