Clare - Ft. Necessity is about 10 miles east of Uniontown, PA (Fayette County) - so about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. It was the site of the battle that set off the French and Indian War. It has been rebuilt and is run by the US Park Service. It's very near Nemacolin Woodlands, site of the 84 Lumber Golf Tourney that was on TV this past weekend. Ft.Ligonier sits about 50 miles east of Pittsburgh along Rt. 30. - about 2 blocks from the square in the tiny town of Ligonier (Westmoreland County). It too has been rebuilt and there is a museum. Ft. Duquesne, and subsequently Ft. Pitt, sat at the Point in Pittsburgh. The blockhouse and the outline of the fort are there in a very nice park...well - not so nice right now, since it flooded last week from Ivan. Al's right on the button as usual about the original fort being long gone. Hope this helps you with distances and placements.
