An Underappreciated Piece of American History
2025-07-12 11:30 (America/New_York) | kanes Woods, 1461 Scrubgrass Road, scott township, 15243, United States
Join the PPT for a walk event on July 12th at 11:30 AM. We’ll meet at 1461 Scrubgrass Road, Scott Township.
Discover the historical significance of the Kane Woods Nature Area, a 72-acre preserve featuring two miles of trails.
The nature area commemorates the Whiskey Rebellion, a pivotal moment in U.S. history. In 1794, facing Revolutionary War debt, President George Washington enacted a whiskey tax. When local farmers, whose income heavily relied on whiskey production, resisted, they formed an angry mob. They descended upon General John Neville’s estate on Bower Hill, burning his mansion and other buildings to the ground. In response, Washington dispatched 13,000 troops to quell what became known as the Whiskey Rebellion. A historical marker near the trails commemorates the infamous march of the “Whiskey Boys.”
Trailhead: 1461 Scrubgrass Road, Scott Township Level of Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Don’t Miss: The Mother Tree
Be sure to see The Mother Tree, an enormous red oak on the JCC Trail. This impressive tree is approximately 52 inches in diameter and is officially dated by the state forestry department to be 200-250 years old.

We hope you will save the date of Friday, October 10 for a fun evening at Pittsburgh Public Theater with your PrimeTimers friends. The Public is performing the hit farcical comedy Noises Off, which was a major hit on Broadway. It is a very funny play about the backstage antics of a theater group and their production of a show. Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. So, it’s a “play within a play!” The show is at 8 p.m.
Ron S. will organize a dinner or happy hour outing downtown before the show . . . to be determined. For now, put this date on your calendar and plan to get tickets when they are available. Stay tuned for further information. You will be responsible for booking your own tickets at ppt.org so that you can pick your desired seat locations and price levels. At the O’Reilly Theatre, almost every seat is good!
As we try to move into offering more musical and theatrical options, we think this show will be very appealing. Hope you can join us.
We’ll meet at The Eagle for a pre-show dinner at 6:00 but you’ll need to RSVP to join. Email: Pittsburgh_PT@yahoo.com.

PrimeTimers Winter Walks
Tuesday January 13th, 2026
11:30AM
We will meet at the food court at Ross Park Mall
By the restrooms entrance.
Walking is a simple, effective way to boost your circulation and prevent muscle aches. Cooler weather is actually ideal for walking, as you can often walk farther and at a brisker pace than in hot weather, making it easier to stay active and healthy
.

Why Walk in Cooler Weather?

Better Endurance: Cooler temperatures help you walk longer and more comfortably, as you’re less likely to overheat or tire quickly .
Improved Circulation: Regular walking keeps your blood flowing and helps prevent muscle stiffness.
Mood Booster: Walking outdoors, especially with friends, can lift your spirits and keep you motivated.

Join Us!
Come out and join us for our winter walks!
Whether you’re a seasoned walker or just starting out, everyone is welcome. Walking together is a great way to stay healthy, socialize, and enjoy the fresh air. Let’s keep moving and stay in shape—see you at the malls. We can have a hot brew afterwards or lunch.
