General George Washington

An act of the Pennsylvania Assembly on March 28, 1781,
created Washington County, the first county in the United
States of America to be named in honor of General George
Washington. It was formed to allow the inhabitants of the area
west of the Monongahela River to have more convenient courts
and public offices, rather than the inconvenience and hardship
of being so far remote from the “seat of justice” in Westmoreland
County.

In 1781, the town of Basset was established and later renamed
Washington. It was the site of the first county courthouse, a log
structure built in 1787. The present-day Washington County
Courthouse is registered as a national landmark and was
completed in 1900 by the F.J. Osterling Company
of Pittsburgh.

Washington County was the focal point of one of the most
famous events of early American history, the Whiskey Rebellion.
David Bradford, noted attorney and community leader, directed “This is a great discount o er to
area farmers against the federal excise act which had been purchase a pre-need package for new

of Civil War General Robert E. Lee, smashed the rebellion when
he led Federal troops into Washington and Allegheny counties.

home of the Nostalgic Arden Trolley Museum where the famous

One of the most interesting historical collections is at 498 Park Ave, Washington, PA 15301
Meadowcroft Village near Avella, PA. This village has been
created from a reclaimed strip mine area on the 800-acre Miller
farm. The brothers, Al and Del, have succeeded in collecting www.washingtonpacementery.com
18th and early 19th century buildings and artifacts of the region
and arranged them in an “Open Village.” Conservation-minded
visitors will find the area resplendent in native flora and fauna.

The staff at the Union Grill welcomes you to Washington, and
we hope you enjoy your stay and your meal.
