The Remote Destination in Pennsylvania Where the Drive Is Worth the Final View

Pennsylvania is a large state, one I'm only beginning to explore. One of the most fascinating parts is it sometimes feels like two completely different states. Depending on whether you live near Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, the culture is completely different, and there are so many great cities, towns, and destinations in the middle. So you might have to drive quite a bit to visit everything the Keystone State offers, but it's well worth it, especially for one remote attraction in Pennsylvania. Kentuck Knob is located in the southwest corner of the state, about an hour south of Pittsburgh surrounded by small towns and state game lands. But it has a huge legacy. It's a historic site designed by the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright, and it offers a stunning view that's well worth the journey.

Did you know Pennsylvania has its own Frank Lloyd Wright House? Wright designed this house in the 1950s for the Hagans, who were powerful dairy magnates. The house is built with native sandstone, glass, and red cypress.

The Hagan House is the main attraction at the site, and there are plenty of hidden havens with beautiful architecture to explore here.

You can easily spend a few hours here just exploring the house, looking for the many hidden details Wright put into his work. It's equal parts a mansion and a work of art and is one of the last pieces Wright designed in his life.

The Palumbo family purchased the house in 1986 and added a sculpture garden full of modern art. That makes this much more of an all-day destination for families.

The whole area is surrounded by beautiful, remote nature, so make sure to find some time to take it in. This is one of the most beautiful and least-visited areas in Pennsylvania, and it's hiding a true hidden gem of an attraction.
