- The Casselman Bridge21 mi
An eighty-foot stone arch on the National Road, the largest in America when built, and so improbable that its builder is said to have waited under it when the falsework came out.
This Somerset County folklife festival gathers over 100 juried artisans and craftspeople for demonstrations of pioneer era trades like blacksmithing and broom making, timed to the peak of fall foliage in the Allegheny highlands.
- James Buchanan27 mi
Born in a log trading post in a gap of the Tuscarora Mountains, the only president from Pennsylvania and the only lifelong bachelor.
George Washington soaked in these warm springs as a teenaged surveyor and kept coming back, and the town has been in the bathing business ever since, with a state park built around the spring itself.
