Out and about near Morgantown, we visited Friendship Hill where Albert Gallatin (1761 - 1849 built his home. He arrived from Switzerland in 1780 and became one of the most important and influential statesman in the early American Republic years. He was involved in land speculation and also established a glass factory in 1796.
