Friendship Hill National Historic Site, Point Marion

Interesting little park with lots of local history. The house is cool, but very limited hours of operation. Lots of easy to moderate hiking trails. Some cool views of the Mon River. Great place to come in the fall for some leaf viewing. Lots of great places year round for family pictures. All in all, I found it to be a hidden gem of the National Park system.

Interesting hidden history of the United States. Gallatin was on the bleeding edge of exploration of the western territories at that time. He has an amazing personal story of exploration and embodies the American spirit as an immigrant from Switzerland. His involvement in early American history is less known, but was pivotal at the time. Friendship Hill is a beautiful property that was on the edge of civilization at the time. Well worth the visit! Also, the park ranger was very knowledgeable and welcoming!
