Two architectural masterpieces by Frank Lloyd Wright lie within 30 minutes of Watson Estate. Fallingwater—built over a cascading waterfall—is an icon of modern design in harmony with nature, while Kentuck Knob, set high on a wooded ridge, showcases Wright’s later Usonian style and a remarkable outdoor sculpture collection. Together, they make Uniontown a destination for art, design, and history lovers alike.

Step back into America’s early days at Fort Necessity National Battlefield, where George Washington commanded his first battle in 1754.

Discover the underground wonder of Laurel Caverns, Pennsylvania’s largest cave system, featuring guided tours and adventurous caving routes. Above ground, take a scenic drive along Chestnut Ridge, where sweeping overlooks reveal panoramic views of the Youghiogheny River Gorge.
