Friendship Hill is a National Historic Site located on the Monongahela River near Point Marion. It was the

country estate of Albert Gallatin. Albert Gallatin is best remembered for his thirteen-year tenure as Secretary of

the Treasury during the Jefferson and Madison administrations. In that time, he reduced the national debt,

purchased the Louisiana Territory and funded the Lewis & Clark exploration. Gallatin's accomplishments and

contributions are highlighted at Friendship Hill. We will hike some of the 10 miles of trails on the 661-acre

park. If the group wishes, we can take the self-guided tour of the house.
