Somerset County, Pennsylvania,  has been called “America’s County” because of two life changing events in 2001 and 2002. With a local step-on-guide we will visit the Flight 93 National Memorial including the Memorial Plaza, Memorial Chapel,  The Wall of Names, The Visitor Center, and The Tower of Voices.  We will then take a break for a delicious lunch at the Coal Miners Cafe.  Choices are Roast Turkey or Roast Beef and Gravy Sandwich with Mashed Potatoes or Grilled Chicken Salad.  Lunch includes a beverage and dessert.  Should you have any dietary restrictions, please notify the office when making your reservation.  We will make a visit to the site of the Quecreek Mine disaster where nine miners were miraculously rescued from 240 feet beneath the earth. Our last stop will be at a Mennonite store with a cool treat to finish the day.
