Established in 1773, Hanna’s Town served as the first English courts west of the Allegheny Mountains and the first seat of government for Westmoreland County. It was home to frontier settlers, hosted travelers along the Forbes Road, and served as a recruitment center during the Revolutionary War. The Hanna’s Town Resolves, adopted May 16, 1775, proclaimed citizens’ willingness take up arms against Great Britain. On July 13, 1782, Hanna’s Town was attacked and burned by Seneca and British in one of the final conflicts of the Revolutionary War. The site’s conversion to farmland preserved it as an archaeological time capsule of frontier life in Pennsylvania. Historic Hanna’s Town is now a county park administered by the Westmoreland Historical Society. It consists of the reconstructed Hanna's Tavern, late 18th and early 19th c. log houses, a reconstructed Revolutionary War era fort, a blacksmith shop, and Education Center with research library, exhibits, and gift shop built in 2019.

In the past I brought several bus loads of senior citizens to pay their respects here. On April 24 I'll be bringing another group. I will refresh memories with the account of what happened during Desert Storm to the 14th Quartermaster unit.

Very beautiful arcitecture, however you are not permitted to take photographs. Its worth visiting. Also as you enter, be prepared to empty your pockets for the security people.
