this weeks Fionna Adventures!

On this weeks update of “Fionna’s Patriotic Adventure”, Fionna Fayette™ chose to Discover Fayette PA by visiting the Fayette County Historical Society/Abel Colley Tavern & Museum.

Fionna Fayette™ discovered that this tavern has been a staple to the National Road Heritage Corridor since around 1835.

During the 1800s, travelers, wagon drivers, and stagecoach passengers would stop there to rest, eat meals, and exchange horses while traveling the National Road.

One unique feature of the tavern is its two front doors. Historians believe one door led into the tavern/barroom while the other led into the family living area. Today, this tavern serves as a museum for local exhibits of history.

Be sure to look out for her next adventure in Fayette County, PA for the Fayette County, PA 250th.

On this weeks update of “Fionna’s Patriotic Adventure”, Fionna Fayette™ chose to Discover Fayette PA by visiting Colonel Crawford's Cabin.

Colonel William Crawford was a soldier, surveyor, and friend of George Washington. Around 1765, he traveled to the Youghiogeny River area and decided to build a log cabin to use during the time of the French and Indian War. Fionna Fayette™ learned that while the cabin standing today is not the exact cabin Colonel Crawford built, it is a replica showing what it may have looked like during that time.

Fionna Fayette™ also discovered that after Colonel Crawford’s death, his wife Hannah continued living in the cabin on her own, even though her family was from Virginia. Hannah Crawford became known as a strong frontier woman on the Pennsylvania frontier.

Be sure to look out for her next adventure in Fayette County, PA for the Fayette County, PA 250th.
