This memorial is a beautiful tribute to those brave hero’s who have their life’s to saves others. It was very emotional and I felt like crying. This is a must see place.

Mister Rogers' Park Bench

Reviewed By jodylync

This is located in James Rogers park a tiny green area with a few park benches in downtown Latrobe on the corner of Main and Jefferson. On one of the park benches is a life size statue of Mister Fred Rogers. Have a seat next to Mister Rogers and remember "you are special."

Quecreek Mine Rescue Site

Reviewed By Teddy1081

We did not know what to expect. My wife thought it was going to be going into a mine and didn't want to go, but I talked her into going and she loved it. She has done more research and we just got the DVD to watch the movie. Museum staff are VERY informative, esp. Bill who owns the farm the rescue took place on. We learned a lot listening to his ~one hour DVD and story. Not much to see outdoors but the museum will give you a complete understanding of how the accident happened and the events that unfolded over the next couple of days to get the miners out. It was amazing and a miracle. May not hold the interest of small children.

14th Quartermaster Detachment Memorial

Reviewed By CarolL379

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.

Braddock Grave

Reviewed By laurelee36 - Dallas, United States

Interesting stop for history buffs and for those who have just visited the Fort Necessity Visitor Center and crave a little more experience of the times. It's right by the road with a small parking lot and won't take more than 5 mins to experience. Worth a stop and it's just a few minutes down the road from the visitor center on the old National Road, Route 40. So much history in this area.
