LHR-GT #03: Warren County Visitors Bureau
Nestled in the Pennsylvania Wilds, Warren County offers a blend of outdoor adventure, natural beauty, and welcoming communities that make it both a destination and a place to call home. The Warren County Visitors Bureau, founded in 1968 and designated the county’s Tourist Promotion Agency in 2013, promotes the area’s unique character, including its proud claim as the “Birthplace of the Arch,” commemorated by two stainless-steel mini replicas of the St. Louis Gateway Arch, one a 14-foot-tall, 1:45-scale monument built in 2012 by retired local steelworkers who helped craft the original monument in the 1960s. Visitors can also see a striking Civilian Conservation Corps statue, honoring the legacy of the men who helped shape the region’s parks and forests during the Great Depression.
