As you listen to these stories, you may see ancient Indians or colonial settlers walking along the side of the road, once a wilderness footpath. They're still there. I'll show you where to look.
If you see any Shawnee warriors on the turnpike, it's just your imagination. The stories are that stirring.
This segment of the cross-state tour ends near the Flight 93 National Memorial. It honors brave passengers who rushed hijackers and stopped them from flying to their target in Washington, D.C.
This tour covers part of the route to Washington, D.C., from the Midwest and Western Pennsylvania.
Learn a little of Indian ways, including how to say hello in Lenape, Shawnee and Seneca. Who was in charge? The chiefs or the women? Take the tour and find out.

Overview

This self-guided GPS audio tour is Part 1 of a 4-part eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike series that eliminates highway boredom. It tells the incredible prehistoric tales of ancient Indians who once walked this trail, and the compelling historic dramas from the time that the cultures of American Indians and Europeans clashed here.

This segment of the tour begins at the Pittsburgh turnpike entrance at Monroeville, ascends into the Allegheny Mountains, and ends atop them at the Somerset Travel Plaza. Your understanding of life here centuries ago will also reach a new plateau, I guarantee that!

Together we will learn how to track game; how to find a husband, and what to say if we encounter any Indians – or even a Bigfoot – on the trail. We will pass the battlefield that helped seal the fate of Indians in this region. We'll also be near the Flight 93 National Memorial if you wish to stop and make a pilgrimage to honour brave souls.
