From this spot, one may look across the river towards Garver's Ferry in Westmoreland County on the eastern bank of the Allegheny. At the juncture of the Buffalo and Allegheny stands the town of Freeport, established in 1800 by David Todd. It is the oldest town in the AK Valley that was settled by Europeans without the benefit of an Indian village previously occupying the site.
