TimothyK. I drove past for a number of years, but I made a point to visit and purchase! The products they have for sale are endless to describe! The staff knows everything about everything and offer you to test right there! This store is a gem and one of a kind. The prices are great! I found out there inventory is always changing so the store isn’t always the same. You could spend hours there! Going back again with my wife tomorrow!

What a great place for families! First time there. Our family loves to play putt putt and this was among the best courses we have played in a long time! We have played in many states. It was clean, the greens were immaculate. Not much shade but it is summer. They have 2 courses and would can't wait to return to do the second one. Thought the price was a bargain for the course. Go today, you won't be disappointed if you are a putt putt fan.

McConnells Mill State Park

Reviewed By BobKPgh - Pittsburgh, United States

McConnells Mill has many features to explore. The working mill is the featured attraction but there are many like the covered bridge and the trout stream that runs thru the park. The stream is stocked with trout and it is popular place for fly fishing. A PA fishing license is required. Just over the bridge from the mill there is a trail that takes you to a place for rock climbing. The climbing is mostly top-roped or bouldered. Some cliffs have bolt anchors other times trees are slung for anchors. Be careful when hiking along the creek. It is slick and many people have fallen into the creek and drowned.

The Living Dead Museum and Gift Shop

Reviewed By H7281TZanneb

My family, including two teenagers, went to this museum in May. It's in the most adorable little town, Evans City, where you can also hit a cute restaurant and visit a candy shop. Cost is $5 for everyone over 12 years of age and well worth it. The owners are really nice people and have assembled a surprising amount of original photos, scripts, props, and other surprising artifacts from the George Romero movies plus some other zombie movies. Give it 45 minutes and their gift shop is amazing. Got a unique Zombie t-shirt and hoodie. Maybe 10 minutes further up the road is the cemetery where the movie was filmed!

Evans City Cemetery

Reviewed By RoadTrippinXie - Pittsburgh, United States

Fun little pitstop for any Night of the Living Dead fans out there. This is the cemetery they filmed at. Headstones between Blair & Cole was where her fathers grace was, also Cole. The tall gravestone was the one Barbara hugged in fear while her brother was battling the zombie. I’m pretty sure the building has been rebuilt. Easy to get to & find. Nobody will bother you. It’s an active cemetery so please don’t vandalize or graffiti it up with d*cks. There is a NOTLD store in the town if Evans City as well. Stop at Harmony Inn to eat since it’s close by & at the Harmony Society cemetery with the big stone doors.
