Instructions for Bringing a School Group to Friendship Hill
Reservations
All ranger-guided programs require reservations. Please make them at least two weeks in advance of anticipated visit. Due to staff limitations any reservation made with less than two weeks notice will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Reservations are accepted by phone at 724-725-9190. You may also e-mail an inquiry regarding programs and availability.
If you are using the park for a self guided teaching unit or using the picnic area, please call or e-mail the park and tell the staff of your intended to visit. This will allow the park to track school use, avoid conflicts, and improve our operations.
Please allow three days for e-mail responses.

Although Albert Gallatin was an ardent abolitionist, he did buy a slave in Virginia by the name of Charlotte Smith. As he was negotiating her purchase, he was also working with a lawyer on the legal act of manumission to change her slavery to an indenture.
