The Soldiers and Sailors monument graces a part of downtown
Warren, Pennsylvania known as the Point. It is at the intersection of
Pennsylvania Avenue and Second Avenue at the foot of the new
Hickory Street Bridge.
Crossing the bridge and following the river to the Route 6 bypass
will lead you to a nationally designated drive, the Longhouse National
Scenic Byway which starts on Route 59 just past the city limits.
The park pictured here also includes a great place to view the
Allegheny River and a mini Music Park where free concerts are held
Friday and Saturday nights in the summer, except during the county
fair, which has its own concerts. Bluegrass performers seem to draw
the largest crowds around here.
Directly across the street you can enjoy live Irish and Scottish folk
music every Wednesday night throughout the year at "A Fresh Cup"
coffee house.
