Connellsville : Overview
Mile 88 on the Great Allegheny Passage
Connellsville is located on the banks of the Youghiogheny River, and once fueled the regional economy with its coke factories. The industry was so lucrative that Connellsville is believed to have once boasted more millionaires than any US city of its size. The result is a city with great river access and elaborate buildings, homes, and churches. Many of these buildings are ripe for investment.
The city is at an ideal location along the Great Allegheny Passage. At mile 88, it’s located on the edge of Ohiopyle State Park and is just 16 miles by car from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. The trail passes directly through the city’s West End business district, which includes a B&B, bike shop, some retail, and a number of locally serving businesses. Local organizations are in the midst of various public space improvements.
