Historic Parks In Pennsylvania
What are some of the most historic parks in Pennsylvania?
- Saylor Park (Coplay): This park located along the Ironton Rail Trail, offers one of the most unusual attractions in the state. The 2.6-acre site is on the National Register of Historic Places and showcases nine 90-foot vertical cement kilns, creating an unusual landscape. Built in 1893, the Schoefer kilns were used in the production of Portland cement and were a vast improvement compared to previous methods. The outdoor museum is open year-round.
- Buchanan's Birthplace State Park (Mercersburg): Visit this historic ground every day from sunrise to sunset. The 18.5-acre park is tucked in a gap of Tuscarora Mountain in Franklin County. The rich forested woods and surrounding mountains offer beautiful places to explore. In addition to the president’s memorial, you'll find picnic pavilions and tables for eating al fresco. And if you like to fish, Buck Run flows through the park with a population of native trout.
- Oil Creek State Park (Oil City): Oil Creek State Park is the site of the world's first commercial oil well. It tells a story of how the early petroleum industry operated from the 1860s through the 1960s. Depicting oil boomtowns, oil wells, and early transportation through full-scale, three-dimensional landscapes of buildings, machinery, and equipment, it feels kind of like a movie set. A train still chugs through the valley and stops at the Train Station in Petroleum Centre on Saturdays and Sundays, June through October.
