Latrobe was the birthplace and childhood home of children's television personality Fred Rogers and former professional golfer Arnold Palmer. The banana split was invented there by David Strickler in 1904. Latrobe is also home to the training camp of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While the Greater Latrobe Wildcats might have been itching for a chance at revenge against the Franklin Regional Panthers after Monday’s loss, Mother Nature had other plans and put Tuesday’s rematch on hold in the fourth inning.
It is a liberal arts school that sits on about 200 acres 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Latrobe, Pa. the home of one of golf greatest players Arnold Palmer. We visited the centerpiece of the college, the Basilica of St. Vincent Archabbey, built in the late 1890's.
With so many things to do, it’s hard to think of a place that could be more perfect for a getaway than tiny Latrobe Pennsylvania. This small town of fewer than 8000 residents is the home of our childhood fave Fred Rogers (Mister Rogers) and legendary golfer Arnold Palmer.
Latrobe is a great place to visit and is known for many things and people including the Latrobe Brewery (the original brewer of Rolling Rock beer), Saint Vincent College (where the Pittsburgh Steelers hold their training camp every summer), golfer Arnold Palmer, Mr. Fred Rogers, and the first banana split!
