Fayette County praised
My wife and I visited Uniontown and the area. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable trip. There are interesting places to see. We are looking forward to visiting again.
The first place one should visit is the Fayette Chamber of Commerce. Here you will get information that you will need about places to see.
We visited the George C. Marshall Memorial Plaza. It left a lasting impression. Gen. Marshall was the top-ranking soldier of World War II and the first of the war’s Five-Star Generals.
During the war, I was in high school. I wrote to generals, admirals and civilians. Gen. Marshall wrote me a nice letter.
We took a tour of Laurel Caverns, Pennsylvania’s largest cave. It is a natural cave which follows the natural slope of the mountains. Then we visited Fort Necessity. It is the site of George Washington’s first military action and the start of a war that set the stage for the American Revolution. We visited Jumonville Glen and Braddock’s Grave, two related units of the National Battlefield. We have visited the sites of the French and Indian War from Waterford, Pa., to Fort Necessity.
The Herald-Standard is very informative. There is something in it for everyone, whether you are interested in local affairs, schools, church, sports, businesses, etc. Being a newspaper junky, I have added a copy of your fine newspaper to my collection of newspapers from different states.
As we toured Uniontown and the area, we found the people to be very friendly, polite and helpful in assisting strangers in directions and information.
