I am a self defined and described nerd. It has recently been more notable since I have been…read morefinding myself searching out more and more historical sites and museums to visit. Especially with how the last year has panned out. Visiting some of these sites allows you to explore on your own and away from a crowd. I have driven past this on so many occasions and never gave it a second thought. With my recent vacation turning into more of a staycation because plans got changed at the last minute I decided why not venture here and check it off my list of things to see and do in our fine state of Pennsylvania. Fort Ligonier sits along busy Route 30, right wear the route converts from two to four lanes. You might as well consider where this sits as the entryway to the town of Ligonier. Makes it look like a grand entrance. Fort Ligonier is actually two things in one...I guess we can call them attractions. You have the museum that has several different exhibits. Then you have the reconstruction of the fort. Each of the two can consume a good amount of your time. Once you arrive and pay for your admission you are given a ticket, or should I say sticker, you wear the sticker as you go through the exhibits. That way that let's the employee know that you paid. The museum portion offers a lot. Within the museum you have the History Gallery, George Washington Gallery, Art Gallery, The World Ablaze, Arthur St. Clair Parlor, and Archaeology and Reconstruction. That seems like it shouldn't fit inside the building that it all does. Because when you pair that with space set aside for educational needs and conference room space, this facility is a lot bigger than it appears. I enjoyed visiting each of the exhibits, I learned something new in every single one. I did not really understand the importance of this fort and the role it played throughout its timespan. There are quite a many unique items inside that you will not find elsewhere. Especially stop in the GW gallery and check out his firearms. The art gallery was impressive with the paintings of famous names from the past. Definitely check out the Arthur St. Clair Parlor, it is an actual portion of a home inside this building. I could go on and on about how much there is to see in here, but if I do that, I will run out of room about the rest of this place. The fort portion is very interesting, and quite the workout. You get to walk about the fort, any and everywhere you want to explore. Make sure that you do explore, I mean inspect every nook and cranny. I wondered everywhere I could and read all the informative plagues that they had. Things to note about this place. The fort is not fully reconstructed You get that when you notice that the walls abruptly stop. Also, the famous Forbes Road runs right through the fort. They even have it laid out that you can walk the path within the fort. After walking in and out of the many buildings on the ground you will run into a staffer that knows so much more information about this place than they had room for. I ran into such a staffer who showed me a lot of the grounds and even pulled out a map that showed where exactly the fort was and how they had to figure out exactly where it was when they started out with the fort/museum. A majority of what you see inside comes from the excavation they had to do. The staffer also informed me about the weaponry used inside the fort. I was informed the distance some of the bigger guns would reach. There is so much to go over with the grounds, I am sure I would miss something. There are so many buildings on the grounds inside the fort that range from a hospital, armory, and soldiers quarters. There are so many things that went into the fort that I had no idea how much of a city a fort really is. The museum store is decent. There are many decent gifts to find within. Of course they are all Fort Ligonier themed.

This is definitely worth a visit. Alot of great history, the museum is very well put together both…read moreinside and outside
