Welcome fall with a festival celebrating the old-time ways of life at our annual Fort Hunter Day celebration sponsored by UPMC!
Visitors will find arts and crafts, family-friendly games and activities, historic demonstrations and exhibits, live entertainment, antique cars and tractors, and even farm equipment from the collection that is not frequently seen by the public.
Stop by the Friends of Fort Hunter bake sale or visit any of the food trucks for a delicious meal. There will also be live animals, hay wagon rides, and so much more!
The Fort Hunter Mansion will be open for visitors at a discounted entrance fee of $5!
