Things to do in Westmoreland County.

For those of you arriving early/staying late, there are many fun and cultural activities for you to enjoy in or around Westmoreland County. Mt. Pleasant is a good 1 1/2 hours from the Pittsburgh International Airport, so it would really make more sense for you to plan your day(s) in Westmoreland County rather than driving the distance back to the big, bad city.

Some suggestions:
  • Take a drive out to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece Fallingwater. We've actually never been to Fallingwater, (though we've been meaning to), so do drop us a line and let us know how you enjoyed it!
  • Whether you have kids with you or you want to enjoy an afternoon with your sweetheart, Idlewild Park is a quaint little amusement park full of history and charm.
  • The last day for the Westmoreland County Fair is the 29th (the day of our wedding), and it's actually pretty fun.
  • Take in some art at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art .
  • Rent a pedal boat and enjoy the natural surroundings of Twin Lakes Park.
  • Soak up some rays at our favorite swimmin' hole, the historic Ligonier Beach. Beware, though-- the fresh water in the pool is COLD as it's fed from mountain springs.
  • Toss back a few cervezas as our favorite drinking hole, Red Star Brewery.
If you need any more recommendations or information, leave us a comment or give us a call!
