One of the first statues erected
of John F. Kennedy after his
assassination, the statue stands in
Kennedy Park at the same spot
where Kennedy gave a speech in1962.
A short distance away is the vacant
Penn McKee Hotel, at 122 Fifth Ave.,
where Kennedy and Nixon debated the
Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.
Hartwood Acres might make you feel
as if you are the guest in an English
Manor home across the sea. The
lavish Tudor mansion is part of the
Allegheny County Parks System, and
the site of themed teas, luncheons and
outdoor summer concerts.
