Indiana County Chapter DAR at Hannastown.

We had the opportunity to visit Hannastown, the first county seat of Westmoreland County and an important site in Pennsylvania’s frontier history.

Walking through the reconstructed village offers a glimpse into life on the western frontier during the years leading up to and during the American Revolution. Hannastown was home to settlers seeking new opportunities and was the site of important local government and court activities. In 1782, the village was attacked and burned during a raid, making it one of the last Revolutionary War-era attacks in Pennsylvania.
