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.

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!

This is a beautiful campus with a rich history of religion and the region. The College is amazing with notable graduates from its traditional arts and sciences background. The Benedictines have let their mark literally, since they built much of the college by hand. In a tranquil setting to appreciate God's beauty.

This is a great park, I wish we lived closer. Two lakes with walking trails around each (0.9 miles and 1.5 miles). Very clean! Paths are bricked with a few different types of brick. Running on these may be a bit tough due to the uneveness. You would have to pay attention to your footing.

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."
10. Fort Necessity National Battlefield
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 370 reviews
This historical site marks the first battlefield of the American French and Indian War.
Reviewed By VAPioneer - Arlington, United States
A great National Park Service location with a modern museum experience that tells the history of George Washington’s involvement at Fort Necessity and the larger world impact of those events. It was also great to learn more about the history of the region and the National Road (now US40) at this location. Great outdoor walks, one note - be sure to wear appropriate hiking clothes and shoes. Worth a quick stop if you are in the area and are interested in American history.
