The Valentine’s Day weekend of February 12 through the 15, gives everyone a chance to count birds for science. The Great Backyard Bird Count asks watchers to spend at least 15 minutes counting the birds around the neighborhood. That includes kids itching for a chance to go outside, then coming back in and using their computer to tell Cornell University what they saw.
Celebrate love, friendship and admiration for Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day in Greene County, Pennsylvania.

Or drop the kids off for a night of fun while you enjoy a hand-crafted meal for two from our local chefs. We hope that you spend this weekend with affection and love for those near and far.

“Shop Scenic” could well become the catch phrase for Greene County when the holiday season consists of driving country roads to find that perfect gift.

In downtown Waynesburg, the genteel storefronts of High Street never stay empty for long. New shops can be an exciting find as entrepreneurs try their hand at serving up that new something that the public is eager to sample.

A day trip to Waynesburg offers a chance to shop the season for unique gifts while enjoying the historical details that makes this old town a picturesque drive.

Add lunch at an artisan eatery and your trip is complete!
We have our share of Native American Sites to be sure. Burial grounds, carved and painted rocks and caves. But there is one amazing artifact that remains that’s been overlooked in all the histories, guide books and in our own living memory. The Indian Trail Tree.
Wine in the garden is a winning combination – from warm spring afternoons until the last bright days of fall. Add a drive on country roads to “shop local” for what you need to lounge and sip in your own backyard and the magic of that moment is complete.
