ATTRACTIONS

 

Among the top things to see in Loretto, PA, there are:

 

 

>> Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, featuring a large selection of 19th and 20th century items, such as paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, including some work of Andy Warhol.

 

The museum offers a variety of educational opportunities and designs education programs for three distinct audiences: the general public, the academic communities in which two of the facilities are located, and school children.

 

>> Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel, a piece of local history, which stands near the site of Father Gallitzin's original log chapel, built in 1901 with funds donated by Charles Schwab, then president of United States Steel Corp.

 

The story of the Basilica goes something like this: shortly before 1800, Father Demetrius Gallitzin, born a Prince of Russian royalty, established a log church on this wilderness frontier, and served the people of this area until his death in 1840.
