Why go there?
Friendship Hill was the home of early American politician and statesman Albert Gallatin from 1761 to 1849. Gallatin was a skilled U.S. Congressman, serving as the Secretary of the Treasury under two presidents for a total of 12 years. He was also ambassador to France and Great Britain. The house at Friendship Hill overlooks the Monongahela River near Point Marion, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. It is now a National Historic Site that is open to the public for tours and picnics. Visitors can learn about Gallatin's life and work, as well as explore the beautiful grounds of this historic property.
