SPECIAL EVENTS & HAPPENINGS
StonyGlen is the perfect place to stay when visiting family or friends living in the area, especially for weddings, graduations, celebrations, reunions, or get-togethers. Just think of it as an extra bedroom or two, conveniently close by.
And what about when attending community calendar events such as the County Fair, Fort Ligonier Days, the Latrobe Air Show, Steeler camp, and several others.
Taking a second day after the festivities to relax at StonyGlen will be well worth it!

Historical Sites
Area historical sites, some dating back to the start of our country, can be easily visited by scheduling your day-trip adventure starting at StonyGlen. Here are a few ideas.
Take a drive to nearby colonial Hanna's Town, or go westward to the native Indian battlefield, Bushy Run, to witness its monuments and visit its museum.
If you decide to go eastward on Route 30 instead, you’ll initially encounter The Lincoln Highway Experience very near Kingston Dam. From there you could head on to Ligonier for a tour of its historic fort.
And if you have more time, you could even drive to the Johnstown Flood National Memorial and learn about one of the most dramatic and terrifying tragedies in Pennsylvania history.

Not feeling just right?
Take a day or two at StonyGlen to better the quality of your life with a combination of rest, physical effort, and good food.
You can walk or hike on our five acres of property or use area streets for biking. Maybe you could try working out in our well-equipped exercise bay to get the maximum physical benefit from your stay.
Whatever you choose to do, StonyGlen will be there as your home away from home!
Me, Meditation & More
Instead of living another day in the “old", why not try something different and stay at StonyGlen awhile to rest and reflect on something new in your world.
Mix and match colors as you try your hand at painting on canvas, maybe for the first time. Delve into various interesting books in our library, even taking one or two to a comfortable place to read. Or just rock back and forth on a gazebo’s swing, befriend a dog in the dog corral, smell the freshness of the surrounding hillsides, or take a walk and wonder at the beauty of nature everywhere, spring, summer, or fall.
These are just a few of the sublime benefits awaiting you at StonyGlen.
Architecture & Landmarks
Downtown Greensburg has some interesting places to visit on or near Main Street.
Sit inside the rotunda of the County Courthouse and your eyes will automatically be drawn upward to the magnificent features of its enormous dome, an architectural masterpiece.
Uptown you can visit the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, which is sure to please. Admission is free, but you’ll need to pre-register online.
Then consider going to the public library, just one block from the main street, to peruse its many bookshelves.
Enjoy the day!

Golfing
When Arnold Palmer grew up in nearby Latrobe, he probably never imagined the golfing boom that would follow him throughout his career.
Several well-maintained courses, not far from Arnie’s original home site, are available to the public. Each will offer a test of your game skills.
Here’s what you can do. Take a day to rest, relax, and practice your swing and putting at our Golf Center. Clubs and balls are available there for your use.
Then the next day, when you stand on the first tee of a course you have chosen, you’ll be ready to make your best shot.
To help, we’ll put a 3-pack of new balls in your golf bag for good luck and in memory of Mr. Palmer. Try not to lose any!

A Day to Remember at StonyGlen
Here’s how it can happen:
After a good night’s rest at StonyGlen, enjoy a delicious breakfast in the morning before starting on a walk around the property. But before you go, maybe you would like to sit for a while either on the screened porch, rocking back & forth in a rocking chair, or on the patio where you’ll feel the warming rays of the morning sun. When you’re ready, cross the small bridge leading from the patio and either go right to the bench with a view or left past the Golf Center to the “Kissing Gazebo”, only a short distance up the hill.
There you’ll have a perfect chance to reflect on nature’s beauty as you push back and forth in gentle rhythm while seated on the glider there. If you hear a dog bark, it’s probably coming from the nearby dog corral, where dogs can be leashed and taken for short walks around the property.
As you go past the corral, you’ll encounter the impressive Hawk’s Nest Monument, sculptured from the trunk of a giant ash tree – an excellent place for a photoshoot.
Then, head for the large gazebo with two swings found along the driveway at the front of the property. Continuing farther down the street frontage, don’t miss the scenic overlook located above the historic Witch’s Tunnel and its dramatically deep entrance ravine, plus the landscape cascade found there.
Then, before heading back to the comforts of your overnight home, sit beside the adjacent pond to gaze at its fountain shooting water high in the air, soon to return with a splash to the pond’s rippling surface.
These scenic memories will stay with you whenever you leave because you will know that StonyGlen is definitely “A PLACE TO REMEMBER”.
