Highland Park is a historic residential district in the East End of Pittsburgh. It combines a large municipal park with beautiful residential neighborhoods. We will look at some of these homes on this tour on North Sheridan, North Highland, North Negley, and the massive and fabulous King Mansion on Elgin Court. This walking tour is done by an experienced tour guide of over 25 years. It will give you a unique perceptive of the past, present, and future of Highland Park. It's a fun way to exercise in the fall!
