We drove to a Calvary Chapel church about a dozen miles away. Afterwards, we were then able to locate the actual Locust Hill birthplace of Meriwether Lewis (1774). We took pictures of the private and VERY landscaped corner where it is quite impossible to see the actual home. Lewis' father Robert, purchased the house and 2,000 acres in 1730.

Tomorrow morning, on to Pittsburgh, PA via Fort Necessity National Battlefield and Braddock's Grave, both French and Indian War sites (1754) near Farmingham, PA. We then go on to Washington/Pittsburgh KOA to camp and on Tuesday, visit Fort Pitt as well as where Lewis embarked down the Ohio River.
