Hartwood Acres

I went to Hartwood Acres for the first time yesterday. It’s gorgeous and not that far from the city. The  Allegheny County Park covers  629 acres and includes a spectacular country estate with a stately Tudor Mansion (erected in 1929) cottage, stable complex and gate lodge (erected in 1927). Designed by Alfred Hopkins for John and Mary Flinn Lawrence, the mansion houses an excellent collection of original English and American antiques.  You can hike or horseback along its wooded trails or cross country ski depending on the season. Visit the farm and stable complex, appreciate the sculptures or see a concert under the stars. There are even areas where dogs may run free.

Go to the Hartwood website for more info including the popular concert schedule.
