Welcome to Southern Alleghenies

Visit Pennsylvania’s Southern Alleghenies region for some of America’s most fascinating engineering feats! Tour American architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece: Fallingwater! This once private residence straddles a waterfall on Bear Run river near the village of Mill Run. One of two Wright homes in the area, the other is the nearby Kentuck Knob house, exemplifying the architect’s Usonian design approach. Once you’ve had your Wright fix, enjoy the view from the Johnstown Inclined Plane cliff railway, said to be the world’s steepest of its kind. Then, travel to Altoona and marvel at Horseshoe Curve, an impossibly curved section of the Pennsylvania Railroad important during World War II. Design your Southern Alleghenies trip today!
