Check out where Fionna Fayette is at today!

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.
