Part 2 of 2: Friendship Hill National Historical Site protects the vast, sprawling estate of Albert Gallatin, a Swiss-American entrepreneur and politician sometimes referred to as America’s forgotten founding father. Gallatin purchased the land for his estate in 1785, when the Allegheny Plateau represented the westernmost frontier of the United States. The full histories of the site and Albert Gallatin can be found here. Today, the estate, perched on a idyllic wooded bluff overlooking the Monongahela River to the west and the Chestnut Ridge to the east, is administered by the National Park Service as part of the Fort Necessity National Battlefield.
