Discover Heritage

From its highest ridges to its deepest valleys, The Alleghenies is a place where the past is always present. These are the lands where Native Americans once hunted and trapped, a revolution was fought, lumbering was king and iron furnaces roared as settlers came to build their homes and farms. Lochs were built along the streams to ferry passengers and freight on canal boats, and the whistle of the iron horse echoed through the valleys as a nation pushed its way westward. In The Alleghenies, the past is all around you, preserved, celebrated and alive as revolutionary forts, homesteads, frontier towns and re-enactors wait to take you back to a time when these lands were the final frontier of America.
