Introduction:
As you have already seen, the great historical significance of Friendship Hill began when Albert Gallatin first built the house as his home. However, this significance did not cease when Gallatin sold the property. Friendship Hill continued to live and breathe history after his departure. Owners after Gallatin played important roles in western Pennsylvania and our nation's history. These owners continued to improve the house and surrounding property. The history of the post-Gallatin owners, as well as the National Park Service's preservation of Friendship Hill has made it possible for you and future generations to enjoy. |
