Point State Park - The Golden TriangleStop on Best of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a free self-guided tour.At the very tip of downtown Pittsburgh, where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio River, Point State Park marks one of the most historically significant spots in American history. This is where the French built Fort Duquesne in 1754, where a young George Washington fought his earliest military engagements during the French and Indian War, and where the British subsequently built Fort Pitt - giving Pittsburgh its name. Today the 36-acre park features the iconic 150-foot fountain at its tip and stunning panoramic views of the three rivers and the Pittsburgh skyline. The Fort Pitt Block House, built in 1764, is the oldest authenticated structure in western Pennsylvania and still stands within the park. The Fort Pitt Museum tells the story of this critical frontier battleground in rich detail. The park is free and open year-round and is the perfect starting point for exploring the city Carnegie called home.Stops on this tourPoint State Park - The Golden TriangleMarket Square and PPG PlaceStrip DistrictSenator John Heinz History CenterPNC Park - Home of the Pittsburgh PiratesAcrisure Stadium - Home of the Pittsburgh SteelersAndy Warhol MuseumMattress Factory Art MuseumRandylandCarnegie Museums of PittsburghPhipps Conservatory and Botanical GardensCathedral of Learning - University of PittsburghHeinz Memorial ChapelCarnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Main BranchFrick Art and Historical CenterDuquesne Incline and Mount WashingtonStation Square
