I come from a long line of steelworkers and thought I pretty much knew all there was to know. That was, until the tour. The tour guide was extremely informative. Most of the folks working (volunteering) at Carrie have some connection to the steel industry. In addition to the tour, I have had the privilege of attending events there as well. Yep, they rent out the space. Everything was well put together at the events and having the furances as backdrop took it to the next level. As far as the tours go, I feel so strongly that Pittsburgh natives and tourists alike take one. It's really incredible to learn how much of the country was built because of Carrie.

According to a sign at this park, Washington and Guyasuta first met in the year 1753 when Guyasuta guided Washington to Fort LaBoeuf to tell the French to leave the region. The French refused to leave, and the next year, the French and Indian War began--with Guyasuta supporting the French. In the year 1770, Washington and Guyasuta met again to discuss their different points of view about the future of the Pittsburgh area. Jim West's sculpture depicts this intense conversation with Washington looking down the Ohio Valley to signify a westward push and Guyasuta resisting. As for viewing the Pittsburgh skyline, this park is located in the Western end of Grandview Avenue, giving people clear views of Point State Park, skyscrapers downtown, the stadium on the North Shore, etcetera. Binoculars are available for people who want a zoomed-in view, but I think that the view is spectacular with the naked eyes. Note: The neighborhood of Mount Washington has limited parking, so you might have to drive around a bit to find a spot. I parked my vehicle in a parking lot a couple of blocks away.
