Ligonier is a historic town set in a scenic valley. Visit the town’s famous fort, quaint shops, cheerful markets and family-friendly attractions. Go for a stroll in the Diamond, a lovely central park filled with flowers, trees and small wildlife. Relax on a bench or find out if any concerts are taking place on the park’s historic bandstand. The Diamond is an excellent starting point for sightseeing, with the town’s main streets extending in four directions from the park. Visit Fort Ligonier, a thoughtful re-creation of the original British fortification built during the French and Indian War. Gain insight into the lives of 18th-century soldiers as you explore the fort’s barracks, commissary, saw mill and other reconstructed buildings. In the fort museum, read handwritten memoirs of the young George Washington and see Seven Years’ War artefacts collected from around the world. Don’t miss the Ligonier Country Market, occurring Saturday mornings from mid-May until October. More than 130 vendors set up stalls selling fresh-picked produce and handicrafts in one of Western Pennsylvania’s largest and oldest markets. Pick up heirloom tomatoes for a picnic and shop for handmade jewellery and candles. Save time to see the Compass Inn Museum, a restored 18th-century stagecoach stop complex. Learn about life and transportation in the 1800s on a guided tour with a costumed docent. Look inside the seven rooms of the restored inn, which is decorated with period furniture. Bring the kids to Idlewild and SoakZone, one of Pennsylvania’s oldest amusement parks. Dating back to 1878, the park’s attractions are divided into several themed areas. Ride the antique merry-go-round in traditional “Olde Idlewild” or float down the lazy river in the “SoakZone.” One of the best times of year to visit Ligonier is during October’s Fort Ligonier Days festival. Centred on Fort Ligonier, the event features 18th-century music, parades and battle re-enactments. Ligonier is 50 miles (80 kilometres) east of Pittsburgh and best reached by car. - Top hotels in Ligonier - Top Holiday Rentals in Ligonier ![Ramada by Wyndham Ligonier](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/19900/19803/8a7ee1e0_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Ramada by Wyndham Ligonier 216 W Loyalhanna St Ligonier PA Stay at this business-friendly hotel in Ligonier. Enjoy free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking. Our guests praise the helpful staff and the clean rooms ... 7.8/10 Good! (840 reviews) As soon as I pulled into the parking lot I knew this was going to be bad. There were no other cars in the parking lot and I thought the hotel was abandoned. The one staff person I saw was nice, but the hotel was terribly dated.
