Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve in Unity and Saint Vincent College, seen in the background, are among points of interest along a scenic driving route developed by the Westmoreland Land Trust that follows parts of the 18th century Forbes Road in Westmoreland County.

Motorists who take a drive along the Westmoreland Land Trust’s newest road ramble may get a sense of the hilly terrain Gen. John Forbes’ British soldiers had to cross on foot in the mid-18th century, when they seized the site of present-day Pittsburgh from their French foes.
