Friendship Hill Historic Site preserves and honors the country estate and home of early American politician and statesman Albert Gallatin, a Swiss immigrant who served his adopted nation during the early years of the republic. Gallatin is renowned for being Secretary of the Treasury during the Jefferson and Madison administrations and for reducing the national debt, purchasing the Louisiana Territory and funding the Lewis & Clark exploration during his 13-year tenure. The beautifully restored Friendship Hill house offers visitors an intimate look at his life during this time through informative displays and exhibits. Tucked away in the southwestern corner of the Laurel Highlands, the private estate is open to visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, all year.
