12 days in New Castle Itinerary

New Castle is a city in and the county seat of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States, 50mi northwest of Pittsburgh and near the Pennsylvania–Ohio border just 18mi east of Youngstown, Ohio. Get a sense of the local culture at DeBence Antique Music World and Air Heritage Museum. Visiting Allegheny River Trail and Oil Creek State Park will get you outdoors. You'll find plenty of places to visit near New Castle: Sherman Memorial Lighthouse (in Tionesta), St John's Episcopal Church (in Franklin) and Samuel Justus Recreation Trail (in Oil City). There's still lots to do: learn about winemaking at Wilhelm Winery, see the interesting displays at The Living Dead Museum and Gift Shop, don't miss a visit to Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts, and pause for some serene contemplation at Scottish Rite Cathedral.
