Bud Murphy’s pizza is a local favorite.
Connellsville is at an ideal location along the
Great Allegheny Passage. At mile 88, Connellsville is
located between Ohiopyle and West Newton and is just 16
miles from
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater.
Connellsville is located on the banks of the Youghiogheny
River, and it’s from this position that the city’s coke
factories once fueled the regional economy. The industry was
so lucrative that Connellsville is believed to have once
boasted more millionaires per capita than any US city of its
size. The result is a city with great river access and
elaborate buildings, homes, and churches.
Today’s local favorites are
Bud Murphy’s
pizza,
Bikes Unlimited,
and Youghiogheny Station,
a retail
store for the Youghiogheny Opalescent Glass Co. This National
Register
of Historic Places landmark building is train station-turned-fine
art
glass gift gallery and stained glass outlet.
Connellsville’s proximity to Ohiopyle, Fallingwater, and other
Laurel
Highlands destinations positions the city to host bikers and other
visitors to the region. Download the
Connellsville Trail Town
brochure for a complete listing of
businesses.
