Things To Do
Fort Roberdeau
Fort Roberdeau, located in Altoona, Pennsylvania, is a replica of a Revolutionary War-era fort that was built in 1778 by Colonel Daniel Roberdeau. The fort was named after him, and it was used to protect the lead mines and iron works in the area. The fort was reconstructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and it is now open to the public as a historical site and park with a small entry fee. Visitors can explore the fort and learn about the history of the area, the colonial period and the life of the soldiers and settlers who lived there. The fort also offers a number of educational programs and events throughout the year.
