~When you stay at Whimsy's Knoll,
you'll be right in the heart of all that
the beautiful Laurel Highlands have to
offer.~
For those with unique architecture on their
mind, no where else in the world will you
find the likes of Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd
Wright's residential masterpiece. Also close
by is another Wright work, Kentuck Knob,
perched overlooking the beautiful
Youghiogheny River Gorge.
Another architectural beauty is the Grand
Dame of Uniontown, The State Theatre.
Built in 1922 and lovingly reconstructed, The
State Theatre offers musicals, plays, and
movies.

~History buffs love this part of the Laurel
Highlands!~
Just up the street from the house is Jumonville Glen, where
the first shots were fired in the French and Indian War.
Only a few miles away on Route 40 is Fort Necessity and
Braddock's Grave.

If you would rather be outdoors,
you've found yourself in the right
place.
Down the road is Ohiopyle State
Park. There you will find anything
from world class white water rafting,
hiking, bike trails, and much more.
We are in love with Ohiopyle, you will
be too when you experience it!
Close by is The Great Allegheny
Passage. It provides a 334 mile
motor-free route from Pittsburgh to
Washington, DC.
If you like to hang out in dark,
enclosed places, then the Laurel
Caverns are for you. It is the
largest cave system in Pennsylvania.

| Only half a mile from our front door is The Cross of Christ at Jumonville Christian Camp and Retreat Center. As stated on the plaque, on a clear day you can see 7 counties, 3 states and 50 miles. It is 60 feet tall on an 8 foot pedestal and can be seen from miles around, especially at night. The view from the top, called Dunbar's Knob, is definitely worth the hike to the top. Don't forget your camera! |
