Places to stay in Brownsville, Pennsylvania

Brownsville is a borough in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, officially founded in 1785 located 35 miles south of Pittsburgh along the Monongahela River. The town was an industrial center, transportation hub, outfitting center, and river boat building powerhouse acting as a gateway city for emigrants heading west to the Ohio Country, Northwest Territory and beyond on the various Emigrant Trails to the far west from its founding until well into the 1850s. Founded about the same time, industrious bustling Brownsville early on easily eclipsed both by size and dynamism the nearby town of Pittsburgh until well into the 1850s when the Railways through to Kanesville, Iowa in the Midwest left Pittsburgh with the better transportation system, and made Kanesville the newest and best gateway city to the far west. Brownsville's Flat Boats couldn't cross Nebraska, Wyoming and the Continental divide either, but by 1869 the trains could. Local dining options include Pickers Pub & Grub, Fiddle's Restaurant, Magic Pizza Italian Restaurant, and Thompson House Restaurant.
