Western Pennsylvania to deliver a message to the French soldiers stationed near Presque Isle. Only twenty-one years old, young Washington traveled north from Fort Duquesne through modern day Butler County. Although aware of the critical and dangerous nature of the mission, it is unlikely that that the young explorer was aware that he was traversing a land of physical features shaped by a 100,000 years of geological history (WTA, 2013). After embarking from present day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Washington

Some say that the tornado of 1985 will forever go down in history as one of the worst natural disasters that have ever occurred in Pennsylvania (Forbes). In reportedly a matter of a few seconds for some towns, the tornado, stubbornly set on its path of destruction, swept through many towns. Despite how long the tornado may had taken to virtually obliterate them, the result was always the same, maximum damage and death (Haas). The ramifications of the tornado caused severe property damage and casualties

If you have ever watched a John Wayne western, read a Mark Twain novel, or had a ride on a Ferris wheel, you are sure to enjoy your adventure along the Kit Carson Blue Line Trail. This 2.5 mile-long blue line (painted on the sidewalk) directs visitors through Carson City’s historic district on the west side of town. A walk along the trail takes you past beautiful examples of early Victorian architecture and some of the city’s first government buildings. Often referred to as The Blue Line Trail
Biking from Franklin on the Allegheny Valley Trail, average travelers would assume that the path on which they were riding was nothing more than an ordinary trail in an ordinary town. Then around the five mile marker they would see the massive Belmar Bridge rising in the distance. Today the bridge serves as a reminder of our region’s rich history, harkening back to the days when oil wells dotted the landscape and railroads crisscrossed the countryside. At about the eight mile marker, a large rock
