Destinations in this Roadtrip:

• Monongahela Incline
  The Monongahela Incline opened May 28, 1870. It is the oldest and steepest incline in the United States, as well as the nation's oldest cable car operation. The incline enabled people to live 600 feet above the city, yet have easy access to business and factories below. Visit this historic structure. Take a trip up the mountainside, and gain breathtaking views of one of the world's great cityscapes.
• Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
  Come visit one of the world's most significant architectural structures! The Wall Street Journal says that Fallingwater "surprises and inspires; Wright has pushed far beyond convention to rethink not only design and construction, but also the relationship of built space and the natural world, and even the nature of domestic life. The American Institute of Architects voted Fallingwater the Building of the Century in 2000; a national landmark and popular tourist destination, it is an acknowledged masterpiece."

  The key to the house is its setting---a natural rock ledge on a waterfall. Presented to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1963, Fallingwater is the only remaining great Wright house with its setting, original furnishings, and artwork intact. More than two million people have visited Fallingwater since it opened to the public in 1964.

  For a more leisurely, less-crowded tour, we suggest visiting Fallingwater on weekdays. Reservations are required to guarantee admission. During periods of high visitation, exact tour times cannot be guaranteed. Two-hour in-depth tours are also offered at 8:30 a.m. by reservation only. Fallingwater is open for 45-minute guided tours from April 1 through November every day, except Monday, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. From December 1 through March 31, it is open for weekend tours (weather permitting).

• Hershey
  Fueled by an astonishing record of philanthropy by chocolate pioneer Milton S. Hershey, the town of Hershey experienced rapid growth during much of the Great Depression and the decades leading up to it. In that time, Hershey built -- among other things -- comfortable homes for his factory's employees, a system of inexpensive public transportation, a quality public school system, an amusement park that became a major attraction, the historic Hotel Hershey, a community center, a theatre, a sports arena and stadium and a school for orphaned boys. The charitable foundation he established in his name just a decade before his death in 1945 has provided support to organizations like the Hershey Museum and Gardens, the Pennsylvania State University, the local Derry Township School District, and more. Come see the town where this remarkable man built his legacy. And don't forget to visit the Hershey Chocolate Factory, which makes this town the Sweetest Place on Earth!
