Fort Roberdeau Historic Site — Attraction in Tyrone Township

This is definitely an underrated spot in the middle of PA. The admission fee is only $5 per person, and a thorough tour is included. (BTW, on some particular days they have events with higher admission.) We really appreciated to have this lady as our tour guide. She was happy to answer all our questions and she accompanied us for quite a while, almost showed us everything. It was a very informative tour indeed and got an idea of how the life was like in 18 century. Other staff did a great job showing us some cool stuff too. Other than that, there are several trails you can choose from and take a walk around the fort. We did the nearest and shortest one, and it was quite pleasant. Although this replica(rebuilt in 1970s) is much smaller than the original one, we still enjoyed our visit a lot and hope more would discover this historic site, which can be dated back to 1778!

Went here on one of our vacation stops. When we arrived they were doing an elementary school field trip.

We went into the farmhouse and the older lady's in there abruptly go " can I help you" and then proceeded to tell us it wasn't part of the tour unless we were with the kids on the field trip. All of the reinactors were preoccupied with the groups of kids. I didn't even feel comfortable just joining to listen to the reinactors. The gift shop is cute, neat stuff. But overall we were only there for about 30 minutes and had already seen everything...

We decided to go here on our vaction after seeing things to do in Altoona, PA on the internet. We weren't sure what to expect, but we weren't disappointed either. This is a hidden treasure near Altoona, PA. If you are ever in the area and even barely like US History, this is a must stop. It is a little off the main road but well worth the time getting there. It took us about 15 minutes from our hotel in Pinecroft, PA. They had a short video to view before the tour along with some features in their little museum. Our guide in the picture was very knowledgeable of the time period and the who, what, why and when of the fort. They have an original Conestoga wagon with all of the natural parts(except...
