🇺🇸 I visited the Liberty Tree in Fayette County at Fort Necessity. What a wonderful visitor center and museum! It's definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Ohiopyle. There's also a picnic area and playground too. I also spotted some gorgous full-grown tulip polars on the path to the Fort. What beautiful trees these Liberty Trees will grow into!🇺🇸
