Fort Ligonier 250th Anniversary, 1758-2008

Come to Fort Ligonier and journey back in time two centuries to a place where the flag of His Majesty King George still flies!

Relive the stirring days of young Colonel George Washington, General John Forbes and the encounters of the British and Americans against the French and Indians. Enjoy the unique Fort Ligonier adventure: where your family will thrill to the color and excitement of our frontier heritage and the epic period of the clash for empire between Great Britain and France.

The impressive Fort, finest of its type in North America, is a full-scale, on-site reconstruction of the 1758-1766 original, situated on a commanding hilltop in the beautiful Laurel Highlands. Enriching living history activities and pageantry such as reenactments, battles, encampments, folkcrafts and archeological digs enhance your educational experience with a vividness no textbook can match.

Everything at Fort Ligonier reveals an intimate link with the past - from hand-forged iron hinges to massive hewn timbers - as you explore this colonial outpost that guarded the vital land route to Pittsburgh and the unconquered West beyond.
