Backyard Tour RECAP: Historic Sites, Lame Jokes & A Lot of Fun
What happens when you put the tourism office, 54 people, coffee, and a full tank of gas on a bus together? From opera to oil rigs, the Backyard Tour was a whirlwind of laughs, learning and just a few too many corny puns (seriously, who brought the “oil be seeing you” guy?).
We kicked things off at the ANF Visitors Bureau and made stops at gems like the Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center, Zippo/Case Museum & Flagship Store Penn Brad Oil Museum, and McKean County Historical Society —with giveaways galore. The Kinzua Bridge Skywalk brought the wow factor, Eddies on main fueled us up, and the Kane stops delivered the charm - Kane Manor Inn is gorgeous.. @KaneHistoricPreservationSociety has history galore and then the Kane Family Drive In finale was complete with popcorn, soda, and drink samples from around the county.
Huge thanks to the Allegheny National Forest rep Jen for guiding the tour through the Forest, our hosts, and everyone who kept the energy high (and the puns higher) and the bus driver who smiled through every questionable joke. Fun was had by all!
Until next time—keep exploring your own backyard, because sometimes the best tours are just down the road.
