FARMINGTON, Pa., Have you ever imagined what life was like at the Mount

Washington Tavern? Or wondered about the people who lived, and died, along

the National Road? Join the Friends of Fort Necessity on Saturday, October

13 for a special nighttime tour at Fort Necessity National Battlefield that

reveals the Legends of the Mount Washington Tavern. Visitors will hear

stories passed down through local tradition about death and mourning,

tragedies, robberies, and other happenings along the National Road in the

1800s.

Friends of Fort Necessity members and park rangers will conduct the Legends

of the Mount Washington Tavern tour at three times: 6:45, 7:30, and 8:15

Interpretive and Education Center. A shuttle provided by Nemacolin

Woodlands Resort will transport visitors from the Interpretive and
