We often drive cross country to visit the grandchildren and have transversed PA numerous times on our way to NJ, as well as our way to VA. We never have had the time to stop and explore, but hope to one day soon. My grandmother was born in PA near Altoona, so I'd like to make an in-depth visit one day.

Refresh my memory. Somerset County is near??? I am somewhat familiar with locations off of I80, as well as the PA Turnpike heading past Pittsburgh.

Somerset is about an hour east of Pittsburgh, just off the turnpike. The towns of Somerset, Ligonier and Latrobe (home of Arnie Palmer, the late Fred Rogers, and Rolling Rock beer) are all within a stone's throw of each other. (well, maybe not literally, but you get the idea.)
