4. 4.5 Fort Ligonier (263 reviews)
   - An Informative Visit at Fort Ligonier
   Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites
   
   
   What a gem! The museum is first rate, with relevant artifacts and easy to understand explanations. It's absolutely comprehensive: you'll learn about the divergent cultures that took part in the Seven Years War -- perhaps the first global war in modern times. Our French and Indian War was just one front of this massive conflict. There is a whole section on the archeological digs they've done around the area and the parlor of Arthur St. Clair's home is inside the main building. They have a beautiful portrait gallery of the movers and shakers of this era. You'll learn about the fort's role as an important post along Forbes road (current route 30). The fort itself is fun to explore. It isn't hard to imagine what it looked like in 1758. The docents are highly knowledgeable. Last but not least, the museum has dedicated a room to George Washington, since he was stationed here before he became a big deal. Loved every minute of it. See more..

7. 4.5 Laurel Mountain Ski Resort (8 reviews)
   - Mount Laurel Ski
   Spent More than 3 hours Ski & Snowboard Areas
   
   
   Loved the idea of coming to a smaller ski area. We were not disappointed. Unfortunately the weather had been too warm for a lot of snow, so only a couple of runs were open. This was perfect for our family to get used to skiing/snowboarding again after a number of years. Derek in the Wildcat lounge was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The food was great, much better than we expected from a ski area. Taylor was the chef at the Wildcat and his food was fantastic. He was also very accommodating. I also saw the ski patrol members helping new beginner skiers get down the slopes. We are looking forward to coming back for another day of skiing, and this will now become our new place to come back to. See more..
   
8. 4.5 Ligonier Valley Railroad Museum (8 reviews)
   - A Must See!
   Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
   
   
   In all honesty, we pulled up to the Ligonier Valley Railroad Museum, and our first thought was "That's it?" It doesn't look like much from the outside - just a building and a caboose - but it is well worth exploring. Inside the beautifully renovated Darlington station is a wealth of artifacts telling the whole story of the short rail line that ran between Ligonier and Latrobe. Started by the Mellon family (yes, that Mellon family), the line operated from 1877 to 1952. It's a fascinating story - one that's sure to enthrall rail enthusiasts and children. The number and range of artifacts is staggering and their presentation is very professional. The docents are very expert in the subject and can answer all your questions. Be sure to visit the caboose! See more..
