”Greene County is “Nature’s Corner of Northern Charm and Southern Hospitality”
The 40,000+ people who call Greene County home know that “Nature’s Corner” of Pennsylvania is replete with all the elements of nature that keep us in touch with our earth, and remind us of the importance of good stewardship of those elements. From the majestic rolling hills to the energetic wildlife, to the magnificence
of each passing season, Greene County has it all!
If the 576 square miles known as Greene County could talk, they would explain the “Northern Charm” that has shaped this corner of Pennsylvania. They would tell you the rich history of stately churches that housed reverent worship services and touching family events; of distinguished homes that housed the prominent and
the not-so-prominent families, all of whom shaped our culture; and of quiet country roads where covered bridges sheltered travelers from blustery weather.
We are anxious to extend “Southern Hospitality” to you on your next visit here. In our western, or “rural wilderness” zone, we’ll show you nature trails shimmering with perfect specimens of endangered biological species. We’ll take you to the nation’s longest-running country fair, the Jacktown Fair. In our central,
or “techno-rec” zone, is the area in and around our county seat, Waynesburg, home to much of the service and retail business of Greene County, and an area exploding with industrial parks and technology corridors. In our eastern, or “river culture – historical” zone, you can visit the historic Monongahela River. You’ll
see the W.A. Young Foundry, where operations were driven by an interconnected system of belts and pulleys all powered by a single motor, a system that remains exactly as it did when operations ceased in 1965.
We want you to experience our nature and to enjoy our charm; and we want to extend to you the hospitality that awaits you. So travel as far south as you can in PA, and as far west in PA as you can – Greene County awaits you! |
