A historical look at the impact of the railroad in Pennsylvania.
Reviewed By Joyce P
The railroad museum is located just off rt 119 on Depot street in Youngwood . There is a museum and restaurant. Across the tracks is a old caboose and a walking trail with a pavilion for a picnic lunch. You can take your dogs on the trail for a walk.

Frank Lloyd Wright Overnight! Touring Fallingwater is Satisfying..Staying at Polymath Park is Spellbinding!
Reviewed By Chalita2020 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
but they seem to be doing a great job. There were three homes on the property with another in storage containers waiting to be assembled. The Duncan house itself was sad...the design is great but the materials used and lack of knowledge about construction basics we take for granted today (no ventilation for the roof...and not overlapping the exterior materials cause a horrid musty stench in the house) made it unpleasant to tour...they rent these places out, I absolutely would not have been able to stay in there more than a few minutes. I would ove to see the place build correctly with high end materials.
The other two houses were great...really good designs assembled in well though out locations created by two of FLW's students. Worth the trip if you are into homes/architecture and design.
The tour guide was funny, I guess it gets old or boring bussing people back and forth and giving the same talks over and over.
Lunch at tree top was ok... the waitress seemed rushed...

Living Treasures Wild Animal Park, a great family experience for all ages. We have hundreds of animals almost in touching range. A large petting area features new babies that love to be hand fed. We are adjacent to Log Cabin Lodge and Suites. Come spend the day with us.

For some reason, this place doesn't really advertise. having said that, it's a fine & unusual place, with (obligatorily,) pony rides, a petting zoo containing a baby camel, little calf, goats, sheep, miniature horses (who demand attention/food by kicking the fence); there are free range chickens who occasionally let you pet them if you give them some food. In the lemur enclosure, I watched as a lemur reach through the fence & try to grab one of the hens as it wandered by. There are some unusual animals (highland cattle, orange & black pigs, a white tiger, dingoes, marmosets & lemurs, among other things. One can also participate in bottle feeding some of the babies (I watched some of the goats, the calf & the baby camel all being bottle fed). All told it was a very nice children's experience. (In the gift shop there are actual paintings one can buy done by the dingoes & the tigers)

We went for lunch with three friends. We all had different sandwiches which were very good. Nice, knowledgeable pourers helped us make good choices of wine. Nice selection of wines. They also have a nice gift shop with assorted wine accessories. Also cheese, crackers & jellies etc. This is a nice place to have lunch & buy some good wine.

The old theater has been lovingly restored and kept up very well. It has shows from concerts to plays to special local events to comedians. It has seen names such as (these are ones I attended) Kenny Rogers, George Carlin, Chi Lites, Travis Tritt, Blue Man Group, Stomp and so many more, even I have been to, that I can't even remember!

First time to the Evergreen Drive-in. Very nice place. Great place to take the kids. Two movie showings for only 9 dollars a piece for adults. All three of my kids were free (under 5). Very nice concession stand, that was pretty inexpensive. Clean bathrooms, and a lot of room for your vehicle. a lot better than going to the movie theater. Also, they show new movies. will go again.

We visited West Overton Village & Museums over the past weekend. It is located in Scottdale, PA, easy to find off of 119 or through Mt. Pleasant. The admission for adults is $8.00. "Entertainment" books usually have a coupon for this attraction.This local history attraction is an example of a Pre-Civil War industrial village, and is a stop on the American Whiskey Trail. There is a very interesting museum depicting the whiskey industry in this little town, created and run by Abraham Overholt. There is a small film, tour through the museum, the Overhold Homestead and a couple of the outbuildings. The Springhouse is where Henry Clay Frick was born. The village had some very successful enterprises back in the day, weaving coverlets, distilling Rye Whiskey, coking coal, farming, coopering and livestock husbandry. Museum was well done with an informative tour guide thoughout and through the mansion on the property. There is a small gift shop in the museum and other non-tourable brick buildings along the street to view along with a couple of shops set up in original buildings of the town. This site also is popular for wedding ceremonies and receptions. We witnessed one outdoor ceremony at the end of our visit. A nice little outing for Western PA natives looking to learn more about their history.

We thought we were going to a vineyard that turned out to be a retail wine establishment with outdoor seating. In order to get outside, you had to purchase a bottle of wine. We had a few laughs, but for the most part were disappointed by the experience. We are used to real vineyards.

This glass museum is currently in the process of relocating from its current downtown Mt. Pleasant location to the former Lenox Glass Centre just south of town but still on Rt. 31. The local volunteers that walk you through this history of glass are, for the most part, former glass workers in the old L.E. Smith glass factory along with other local factories. These folks are passionate about their town's glass history and are anxious to,share that passion with visitors.

Reviewed By Zaphod - Shepherdstown, West Virginia
A bunch of us stopped in for a tasting. It is tucked away in a residential neighborhood, but Waze found it! They had a decent selection of styles, but no real tasting area. The beers were all fair to pretty good. The guy that runs the place is friendly and informative enough, but kinda curmudgeonly. It seems that it is run on a shoestring, and all of the equipment is constantly in need of repair.
