And don’t forget to add a little history to your trip and visit Braddock’s grave–right next door.

IN 1804, WORKERS REPAIRING A stretch of the old Braddock Road uncovered human remains buried in the roadbed. The discovery was at Great Meadows near what is now Farmington, Pennsylvania. Among the remains, they found buttons from the uniform of a high-ranking British military officer, which helped to identify the body as that of Major General Edward Braddock. The burial site was near the location where Braddock reportedly died from wounds suffered during the Battle of the Monongahela.

Tissue Farm Espresso opened in the summer of 2021 in the old Ford garage at the edge of town 446 Latrobe Ave. (directly across the river from the Stonehouse). That end of town has never looked better.

Besides serving amazing coffee and espresso from Commonplace Coffee (Indiana, PA), they also offer locally baked muffins, scones and cookies.

Next to the coffee shop is an artist in residency space in the works. The owners are creating a space in our little slice of Appalachia for inspiration and retreat for artists. Stop in and check it out.

Please check their website for hours.
