s you look through the 2010 Laurel Highlands Travel Guide, you may notice the question, have you ever wondered, used a lot! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to

have you ever WONDERED?

live in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright? Have you ever wondered how big “Big Ben” Roethlisberger (2009 Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steeler QB) really is and where his football season begins? Or, have you ever wondered where to go to find a large amount of snow close to home? These questions and more are answered within the pages of this Guide. We think the answers will inspire you to experience Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands. When a sampling of Laurel Highlands’ visitors responded to the question, “What do you like most about the Laurel Highlands?” with, “it is simply a wonderful place!,” a place of Wonder and the have you ever wondered question was born. We were thrilled when Orbitz Travel.com picked the Laurel Highlands for their Top 5 close-to-home

family vacation ideas near DC, February, 2009 and when The Washington Post chose the Laurel Highlands as one of their 21 Favorite Regional Destinations, Winter, 2009. The past year was unsettling for many Americans who worried about job security, finances, and health care. Many probably wondered if they could afford a vacation or getaway. Yet, travel and tourism remained strong as folks continued traveling to gather with family and friends in the Laurel Highlands. Have you wondered where you can find a valuepacked, mini-vacation or getaway – sometimes one overnight is all you need that is within a three to four hour drive from home, then look no further than your place of Wonder…the Laurel Highlands.

NATIONAL ROAD

n the tiny town of Addison, Pennsylvania, just across the Maryland state line, is a remnant of one of the most important pieces of American history. An artifact that is equal in value to any national memorial or any protected historic site, and one that has had as profound an impact on the development of the United States as anything found in New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., or Boston. And yet, you would never know by looking at it. In fact, you probably wouldn’t even notice it. After all, there is no front door, no gate, no place to pay admission. There are no velvet ropes, or glass cases, or security guards to keep visitors at bay or to protect any of its contents. The

T R I P S truth is, other than the placement of nearly 12 inches of tar and asphalt over the original granite paving stones, this place has barely changed in 200 years. And yet, it is the place where America would be changed forever. The 1/4 mile stretch of road in Addison is part of a 90-mile historic route running through southwest Pennsylvania, known as the National Road. From its modest beginnings as an Indian trail to becoming the primary pathway to the American West, the National Road has been the stage for some of most important events in US history. Revolutions - political, social, industrial and cultural - that would transform a nation from a vast, mostly uninhabited wilderness, into the powerful nation on earth. The unassuming, 2-lane roadway that rolls through some of the most the scenic and rural areas of southwest Pennsylvania doesn’t look like a place where revolutions began. And yet it was. Seeing it today, who could believe that this tiny route is where America’s fight for independence really begin, some 21-years before the first shots of the American Revolution were fired in Lexington, Massachusetts? Who would think that this was the place where the first and only attempt to overthrow the nation’s (continued on Page 12)

the roadside. In order to catch the attention of the new motoring public, no sign could be too large. It was just a matter of time until the building became the sign, and roadside giants were born! In the 1940s, as roads became wider and speed limits increased, the buildings became larger. Pennsylvania boasts the 1927 Coffee Pot in Bedford, the 1948 Shoe House just outside of York, and a couple of fiberglass giants that are coined Muffler Men! Realizing the marketing impact these giant buildings have, some of today’s companies are promoting their businesses with roadside giants such as the Longaberger Basket headquarters in Ohio, an Inn that resembles a paddlewheeler boat in Lancaster, PA, and some of the Hard Little Meadows Lawrenceville Rock Cafés with their giant Elkland guitars.

schools altogether.) This year-long project involved students in graphic arts, welding, building trades, culinary arts, and horticulture. Project guidelines included selection of a design from the Lincoln Highway era (1912-1940); fabrication of the sculpture from steel; and staying within a budget since funding for this regional project originated with The Sprout Fund in Pittsburgh.

Don’t we all wish the price per gallon of gasoline was the same as it was in 1940 – 14 cents a gallon? We’ll probably never see those days again, but visitors to the Lincoln Highway near Ligonier can’t miss the 21’ high 1940 Bennett gas pump that the Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center students created. It is located 2 miles west of Ligonier on U.S. Route 30. To know the exact locations of all five Roadside Giants of the Lincoln Highway, and the 70+ sites of the 200-mile Lincoln Highway Roadside Museum, or download the new printable Lincoln Highway Guide, go to www.LHHC.org.

Get a group of high school boys together and the talk is bound to turn to cars. When the students at Central Westmoreland Career and Technology Center learned that there was an official car of the Lincoln Highway, they quickly zeroed in on the design and fabrication of a vintage Packard vehicle. This supersized car is located at Tollgate Hill Road, just west of Greensburg, on the historic Lincoln Highway. Bicycles and Somerset County seem to go together. The Somerset County Technology Center students were quick to develop a design that incorporated a bicycle – a 1,800 pound Bicycle Built for Two that measured 17’ high and 22’ wide. It is installed near the intersection of Routes 30 and 219 interchange.

newly-formed federal government and its first President would be planned? And who would imagine that the construction of this road would generate the very first challenge to the United States Constitution? And then there was the social revolution that the National Road brought about. When Thomas Jefferson completed the Louisiana Purchase and expanded the country westward, it was the National Road that provided the primary access and route. Tens of thousands of men, women and children heading west to build a new life and brave a new frontier. Hunters and trappers, farmers and traders finally having access to the resources of western territory. The United States, its people, and its economy would never again be the same and all because of the National Road. Having access to a new, abundant supply of natural resources, including coal, coke, timber and iron ore, created an explosion of new trade, development, and innovation. The Industrial Revolution that had swept through Great Britan in the late 1700’s would come to America and brought with it the investment and immigrant workforce that would transform these natural resources into the products and industries that would forever change the world. Once again, it was the National Road that paved the way and helped

LAUREL HIGHLANDS 2010 Travel Guide

make the Industrial Revolution in the United Stated possible. The National Road was the stage for many of the United States’ most profound and significant political, social and industrial revolutions. But in 1935, when Frank Lloyd Wright completed his masterpiece “Fallingwater” in Mill Run, PA, the National Road also became the home of a culture revolution that would sweep the entire world. Fallingwater would become the symbol of modern design and provide the single greatest influence on the architecture of the twentieth century. One tiny road that revolutionized a nation. That is the story of the National Road. A place to learn about the spirit and vision of those courageous men and women who stood up for freedom, fought for independence, explored new frontiers, and challenged conventional thinking. A place where battles were waged, rebellions were born, constitutions were challenged, and the rules of how we would live were forever broken. Visit www.nationalroadpa.org for more information.

ONE LONG NATURE TRAIL

ix miles south of Ohiopyle, the Great Allegheny Passage comes out of the woods and into a large meadow that was once a farm. If you pay careful attention you’ll recognize this place by the narrow gas pipeline clearing that leads off to the west. This is the water gap of the Yough River through Laurel Ridge -- the deepest water gap in Pennsylvania. The summit of Laurel Ridge is 1,200 feet higher than the trail. Compare that to the famous “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania” at Wellsboro, which is a mere 800 feet deep. Just a mile or two further south is a limestone outcrop, Finnegan’s Ledges. Spring wildflowers are bountiful here with tufts of wild columbine growing right out of the rock face. The columbine attests to the alkaline nature of the

www.laurelhighlands.org

rock, since it is a plant which grows only in “sweet,” limey, non-acid soils. At Confluence, the Passage leaves the Youghiogheny River and follows the Casselman River. At an overlook of the meeting of these two rivers, natural history gives way to human history. On May 21, 1754, George Washington camped on the point of land between the rivers while searching for a route from tidewater on Chesapeake Bay to the forks of the Ohio. The trip was part military and part speculation. Col. Washington was looking to oust the French from the Forks of the Ohio. Businessman Washington was looking for a route for goods to flow from the East Coast to the new American wilderness. Near Harnedsville, around Mile 58, is another great location for spring wildflowers. Trillium, yellow trout lily, Dutchman’s breeches, violets and more are abundant here in April and May. Late summer brings the mountain bugbane, a rare plant of the Alleghenies, into bloom. This stretch of trail also illustrates the changing nature of the landscape. South of Fort Hill, the Casselman River loops around the Pinkerton Horn. The Horn is a huge bend in the Casselman River where the water encountered a very hard ledge of rock and was forced to take a circuitous route. The old railroad path crosses the Pinkerton High Bridge with the river far below. The views from this location are exceptional, especially in the fall. After crossing the High Bridge directly ahead is the Pinkerton Tunnel and just beyond that the Pinkerton Low Bridge. The straight line distance is a couple of hundred feet. (Continued on Page 28)

LAUREL HIGHLANDS 2010 Travel Guide

However, after rock-falls in the tunnel, it was closed. The Passage then was routed to follow the path of the river for 1.3 miles around the Horn, ending up at the other end of the closed tunnel and the Pinkerton Low Bridge. The river at the Low Bridge is less than 20 feet below deck. When compared to the High Bridge, you get a graphic illustration of the steep fall of the rivers in this region. At Meyersdale, the Passage leaves the Casselman River and follows the smaller Flaugherty Creek. The higher up the watershed, the smaller the streams and from Meyersdale, the eight miles to Deal, bring you to the top of all watersheds. Just southeast of Deal is the Eastern Continental Divide. A low ridge divides the run-off of the Mississippi watershed from that of the Potomac watershed. Spill part of your water bottle on one side of the divide and it will flow to the Gulf of Mexico and a spill on the other side will reach the Chesapeake Bay. For cyclists, it’s less about water and more about hills. Either direction from here is all downhill. Just beyond the southeast portal of the Big Savage Tunnel is a vista of the edge of what geographers call the Ridge and Valley Province. It’s part of the Appalachian Mountains, some of the oldest mountains in the world. From tiny wildflowers to towering tulip poplars, from extinct saber-tooth cats to scurrying chipmunks, from ancient rocks to new landslides, the Great Allegheny Passage covers them all. It’s pretty clear why it can be called one LONG nature trail. By Paul g. Wiegman Reprinted from the Focus Magazine of the Tribune Review

Children will also enjoy reading the true story of Moxie, a whimsically illustrated children’s book about a dachshund lucky enough to live at Fallingwater. Moxie was one of the many long-haired dachshunds raised by the Kaufmann family at Fallingwater and this delightful tale is Moxie’s heart-warming account of life in one of the most famous domestic dwellings. Moxie talks about the yummy food she ate that was prepared by Fallingwater’s long-time cook Elsie Henderson. Elsie has her own book too; it’s filled with the Kaufmann’s favorite recipes and Elsie’s favorite stories about life at Fallingwater. Moxie and The Fallingwater Cookbook written by Elsie Henderson are available at the museum store or online at www.fallingwater.org. For those who want an unforgettable lodging experience in an original Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home, the opportunity is available just 25 minutes away from Fallingwater at The Duncan House at Polymath Park Resort. Overnight guests can soak up all things Wright in this 1957 Usonian-style home nestled in a private wooded setting. Dine in or enjoy a short walk to the new fine dining restaurant Tree Tops. The Duncan House is open for public tours Sunday afternoons. Go to www.polymathpark.com.

Complete your Wright experience with a tour of Kentuck Knob, the only other home in Pennsylvania designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Both of Kentuck Knob’s owners’ came to own Kentuck after they “fell in love” with Fallingwater. Mr. and Mrs. I.N. Hagan so loved their friends, the Kaufmann’s home, Fallingwater, they commissioned Wright in 1953 to design the house for them on 80 acres in the mountains above Uniontown. After thirty wonderful years, the Hagan’s sold Kentuck Knob to its present owner Lord Peter Palumbo of London, England who by chance learned that Kentuck was for sale when he visited Fallingwater in 1986. Today, Lord and Lady Palumbo have filled the home and grounds with their collection of art which is on display for visitors and includes artifacts from all over the world. Go to www. kentuckknob.com. “There is a sense of beauty, comfort, serenity, and harmony in the house and all of its surroundings,” Mrs. Hagan says in her book, Kentuck Knob: Frank Lloyd Wright’s House for I.N. and Bernardine Hagan. Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands is a place of Wonder because of these three extraordinary Wright homes and their spectacular natural settings.

STEELERS TRAINING CAMP

C A M P You never know who you may see at Training Camp, last year; fans saw former Denver Broncos Coach Mike Shanahan on the sidelines. As Sport’s Illustrated’s Peter King reported, Coach Shanahan said, “You look at things that are important for a franchise, and continuity is right up there. They’ve had three coaches [since 1969], and what teams have been more successful? No one. The whole staff’s been intact on defense, I think for six years or more. They’ve won six Super Bowls.” (Continued on Page 42)

ave you ever wondered how big “Big Ben” Roethlisberger – 2009 Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steeler Quarterback really is? Come to the Laurel Highlands this summer and see Ben, his team mates and Coach Tomlin close up as your family’s own game of touch football during Summer Training Camp on the campus of Saint Vincent College, Latrobe. Beginning the end of July through mid-August, the most storied franchise in the National Football League offers Steelers Nation an unforgettable fan experience for free. Plan on getting there early so you get a spot on the hillside overlooking the practice fields or in the new bleachers named after long-time Coach Chuck Knoll. Most open practices are held 3:00 – 5:00 PM. Most players are generous with their time and will sign autographs before and after practice on their way back to the dorm.

January may be the coldest month of the year, but it’s perfect for a festival where ice is the main attraction! In the Laurel Highlands you will find two unique ice festivals that celebrate winter with a host of wintry fun activities. Somerset’s Fire & Ice Festival held the third weekend in January and Ligonier’s IceFest the fourth weekend in the month are not to be missed. Watch nationally-acclaimed artisans use chainsaws to turn dozens of huge blocks of ice into works of art. Each festival offers entertainment, kids’ activities, and hearty food. Hang around town and wait for the sun to go down to see the ice sculptures illuminated – it’s magical! Plan a weekend getaway, both events are held within walking distance of lodging and restaurants. The Laurel Highlands is exceptionally beautiful in the winter. If you prefer not to hit the slopes but still want to enjoy the magnificent winter landscape, visit one of region’s state parks or forests where you will find miles and miles of groomed cross-country trails, ice fishing, sledding hills, and winter festivals. Winter is a wonderful season to enjoy some of the region’s cultural offerings. Stop by the Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg and see the paintings and sculptures by such celebrated American artists as Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Enjoy a play, concert, or performance by nationally known artists at any one of the region’s outstanding theatres. Romantic Getaways A cozy little cabin in the woods with a cheery fire , a soak in a lodge’s outdoor hot tub under the stars, a couple’s spa treatment, and a delicious meal in an intimate setting – are all great reasons for taking a romantic winter getaway to the Laurel Highlands. Cottages, cabins, chalets and vacation home rentals offering a full range of amenities and dining options are available. For winter packages, go to www.laurelhighlands.org
