Eager to compete with the Erie Canal, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania built its Main Line of Public Works, stretching from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The Allegheny Mountain proved to be a barrier to the canal section of the Main Line. This barrier was solved by building one of the most unique railroads in American history...and the first to conquer the Alleghenies. At the park’s Visitor Center, exhibits and the film share the personal and technical sides of the Portage Railroad. Atop the Inclined Plane #6 of the railroad, guests can visit a replica of the Engine House that once stood there. Visitors can observe the restored Lemon House Tavern, and experience a piece of 1840’s American and Pennsylvanian history. A walk through the woods along railroad’s trace is exhilarating.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater®

Student Friendly Attractions

Fallingwater®, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most widely-acclaimed works, was designed in 1935 for the family of Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. Dramatically cantilevered over a waterfall, the house, perhaps better than any single work exemplifies Wright’s concept of organic architecture: the harmonious union of art and nature. Named one of “50 places of a lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler, the house is open for tours daily except Wednesdays from mid-March through Thanksgiving weekend. Also open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in December and the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The Visitor Center includes a Museum Store and Café, which offers a variety of group dining options. Interactive programs are available for student groups. Groups should allow a minimum of two hours.

High atop a bluff, just a few miles southwest of Fallingwater® and overlooking the Youghiogheny River Gorge stands another Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, the House on Kentuck Knob. The house occupies a special place by virtue of beauty and isolation of its mountain site, the vitality of its plan, and the quality of its materials and construction. A great believer in the beauty of natural materials, Mr. Wright combined the native fieldstone so abundant throughout the property with tidewater red cypress to create a chorus of color and texture that replicates the surrounding landscape.

Hanna’s Town, founded in 1773, holds a special place in American history as site of the first English courts west of the Allegheny Mountains and because it tells the little-known story of the western campaign of the Revolutionary War. In 1775, stalwart citizens drafted and signed the Hanna’s Town Resolves – a strong challenge to British authority prior to the Declaration of Independence. Destroyed by Native Americans and their British allies in 1782, today, guided tours of this reconstructed frontier settlement reveal daily life and the struggles, decisions and events in western Pennsylvania during the American Revolution. Costumed guides interpret the reconstructed fort, courthouse/tavern, and jail. By reservation, groups of 20 or more can witness a reenactment of actual court case(s) heard at Hanna’s Town 1773-1786.

Synonymous with the floods of Johnstown is the Johnstown Inclined Plane. Constructed after the first flood on May 31, 1889, the Incline was built to develop the higher grounds residentially. When floodwaters swept through the Conemaugh and Stonycreek valleys on March 17, 1936 and again on July 20, 1977, it was the Incline that carried men, women, and children to safety. Today, it serves as the historic focal point of our area. Thousands of national and international travelers have experienced all that the Inclined Plane has to offer. In addition to its panoramic view of the valleys, the Inclined Plane features a restaurant, ice cream shoppe, visitor’s center and gift shop.

West Overton Village & Museums, the birthplace of Henry Clay Frick, is a pre-Civil War industrial village. Between 1803 and 1880, West Overton evolved from an isolated farming enclave into a thriving rural industrial village largely through the business acumen of Abraham Overholt. Overholt oversaw village enterprises of farming, livestock husbandry, weaving, coopering, coking coal, and the distilling of storied Monongahela Rye Whiskey. West Overton Village, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, exists today as an intact collection of over a dozen structures dating to the early to mid-1800s including the 1838 Overholt Homestead and several original outbuildings.
