The National Road in Pennsylvania serves as a rich tapestry of American history, tracing its origins from Native American trails to a vital military and expansion route. Built in the early 1800s, it became the first federally constructed road and is now recognized as a National Scenic Byway. The route features significant historical landmarks, including the site of George Washington's early military defeat, David Bradford's home from the Whiskey Rebellion, and the first cast-iron bridge in America. It showcases toll houses, coal mines, and memorials, encapsulating the region's diverse heritage.
