The Westmoreland Museum of American Art

The Westmoreland Museum of American Art is located just 35 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the heart of historic Greensburg, tucked amidst the breathtaking Laurel Highlands. The Westmoreland is a regional museum with a national presence. But, it's more than a museum. It's a destination that presents a unique look at American life. Built to inspire and engage, it's a place for people from all corners of the world to gather and experience American art. The Westmoreland's collection includes works by major artists from four centuries. It also captures the region's rich agrarian and industrial past by placing local history within the greater context of our nation. The Museum is home to more than 3,400 objects of fine and decorative American art, including a new collection of post-1950 artwork. And, every work of art has a story to tell. After a dramatic renovation and expansion, The "New" Westmoreland has become a true 21st century museum with increased gallery and education spaces, enhanced community-oriented programming, and an architecturally-dynamic and LEED-certified new wing to feature traveling exhibitions. Visitors to The "New" Westmoreland will build a deeper relationship with the Museum's diverse collection, and develop a deeper appreciation for American art.

Reviewed By 715aidanm - Pittsburgh, United States

Overall, I personally think this mall is underrated, a lot of stores are closed. My favorite part by far, is the glass and freight elevators. The glass elevator has EPCO CircleLine buttons, a rather unique cab, polished stainless steel everywhere, and exposed light bulbs!! The freight elevators are original 1977 Montgomery G&P freight elevators with electric PEELLE doors!! The same can't be said about the parking garage elevator. First off, it was FREEZING in there, the button panel is loose, and it refused to open on the 3rd floor for somebody! Unfortunately, it's a 1 hour drive from where I live and worse, you have to pay tolls to get there...

Historic Hanna's Town

Established in 1773, Hanna’s Town served as the first English courts west of the Allegheny Mountains and the first seat of government for Westmoreland County. It was home to frontier settlers, hosted travelers along the Forbes Road, and served as a recruitment center during the Revolutionary War. The Hanna’s Town Resolves, adopted May 16, 1775, proclaimed citizens’ willingness take up arms against Great Britain. On July 13, 1782, Hanna’s Town was attacked and burned by Seneca and British in one of the final conflicts of the Revolutionary War. The site’s conversion to farmland preserved it as an archaeological time capsule of frontier life in Pennsylvania. Historic Hanna’s Town is now a county park administered by the Westmoreland Historical Society. It consists of the reconstructed Hanna's Tavern, late 18th and early 19th c. log houses, a reconstructed Revolutionary War era fort, a blacksmith shop, and Education Center with research library, exhibits, and gift shop built in 2019.

Saint Clair Park

Reviewed By Photobugchris - Apollo, United States

Lovely setting for music under the canopy of trees. There is an amphitheater and an abundance of grassy areas to put down a blanket or chairs and listen to the free concerts on Friday nights. The music offered covers many genres with a different group every Friday. The venue turns into a huge, happy gathering with great music. Check out "Summer Sounds" at Saint Clair Park.
