| The Johnston Tavern Just over a nearby hill sits a local historic landmark, the Johnston Tavern. A two-story, post-colonial sandstone center hall building built in 1831 by Arthur Johnston, it served travellers on the Pittsburgh-Mercer Road (Route 19). Circa 1836, it was a popular tavern with the workers of the Springfield Furnace. It is recognized as a stop on the Underground Railroad. |
| The Ironmaster's House Built by William Schollard around 1836, The Schollard House is probably one of the last Ironmasters' Houses left in Western Pennsylvania. Once an antique shop, it has been sitting empty for years. |
| Behind the house are the remnants of one of Mercer County's first early stone pyramidal iron furnaces as well as a waterfall in a beautiful wooded setting. The house, furnace site, waterfall and wooded land are all for sale in one package by a local realtor. Someone needs to come to the rescue before this house is gone forever. |
| Springfield Falls A little-known local landmark, Springfield Falls is located right next to Neshannock Woods. This gorgeous waterfall is nestled in a hemlock and birch ravine formed by glacial meltwater and is accessible via a short trail. |
| Old Stone Jail Mercer County's first jail was built in 1802 as a log building and was replaced with this stone building in 1810. There are a handful of early stone buildings in Mercer County. |
| Raisch Log Cabin This cabin was hidden in the center of a building that had numerous additions. It wasn't discovered until the building was being dismantled and the cabin was saved. This cabin dates to circa 1800. |
