Day Two After a continental breakfast at our hotel, our day begins with a beautiful view of the City of Pittsburgh from the Duquesne Incline Upper Station. We will have a guided tour of the Station before riding the Incline to the Lower Station. Our motorcoach will pickup the group as our journey through Pittsburgh’s history continues to the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning. The Nationality Rooms, located in the Cathedral, are dedicated to the various ethnic groups which have made the Pittsburgh area their home. You will not want to miss the guided tour of this walk around the world. Our day is just getting started. The next stop on our Pittsburgh tour is the famous Strip District. The Strip District is a one-half square mile area in downtown Pittsburgh. Once a hub of produce warehouses due to its closeness to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Strip is now known for produce and ethnic food stores, restaurants and coffee shops. You’ll have some free time in the Strip District to explore and find the perfect restaurant for lunch (on own). Our afternoon activity is a guided tour of the Frick Art & Historical Center. Our group will take part in a guided tour of “ Clayton,” the family home of Henry Clay Frick. “Clayton” was the Frick’s primary home from 1892 until 1905 when the family moved to New York City.

You will have some free time to explore the other on the grounds-the Greenhouse, the Art Museum built by Helen Clay Frick to house her growing art collection, the Car & Carriage Museum where you can learn about the impact cars have had on Pittsburgh’s history and the Museum Shop. Our day ends with dinner at The Church Brew Works. In 1993, the Bishop of Pittsburgh closed the doors of St. John the Baptist Church due to financial burdens and a decline in attendance. On August 1, 1996 The Church Brew Works reopened the doors of St. John’s after converting the building into a microbrewery and restaurant. Enjoy dinner while observing how the renovations have incorporated many details of the original Church to the aesthetics of the Brewery. Day Three After checking out and eating breakfast at our hotel, our trek around Pittsburgh area ends with a guided tour of Fallingwater. In 1935, architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed Fallingwater for Edgar J. Kaufmann, a Pittsburgh department store owner. Come see the splendor of a vacation home designed around the surrounding nature and an example of a home built with a cantilever (a beam or other structural member that projects beyond its supporting wall or column). Our lunch will be a Burrito Bar at Falls City Pub.
