We’re pretty fortunate to have dozens of waterfalls to visit in Pennsylvania, and a few of them even boast the same name. Buttermilk Falls in Pennsylvania, for example, can be found in Beaver Falls and in New Florence. You’ll find both at the end of a short but scenic path. However, today we’re making our way to the Buttermilk Falls in New Florence, Indiana County.
Buttermilk Falls in New Florence has a connection to one of Pennsylvania’s favorite sons. The land on which the waterfall sits was once owned by Fred Rogers’ grandfather.

Mister Rogers spent much of his childhood exploring his grandfather’s luxurious estate. Today, you can still see some of the remnants of the estate, including retaining walls and foundations.
