The Gallitzin Area Tourist Council is proud to be a member of Allegheny
Mountain Magic. This group was formed to promote the "top" of
the
Allegheny Mountain - the Route 53 Corridor, where there are ideal train
watching spots, historical sites, and great dining & lodging
destinations. This region is an ideal vacation
spot - to get away and enjoy the hospitality of small towns. The
Gallitzin Tunnels Park & Museum houses the Allegheny
Mountain Magic Info Center where you can plan the rest of your vacation. Look

Mountain Magic signs!
