Neighborhood highlights
Located southeast of Pittsburgh in Elizabeth Township, the village of Boston often referred to as “Little Boston” (*no similarities to Boston MA!) is a small riverside community shaped by its former industrial and railroad history. *An active freight railroad still runs on the opposite side of the “Yough” river with the occasional sounding of the train whistle, a nostalgic reminder of the valley’s locomotive history.
Boston of today, serves as a convenient access point to the iconic 150 mile Great Allegheny Passage rails to trail which runs from downtown Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Md. where it connects to the 184.5 mile long C&O canal towpath for a continuous trail to Washington D.C!
With convenient access to the Boston trailhead, GAP Visitors Center, community ball field, Youghiogheny River, and Dead Man’s Hollow Conservation area, it’s an ideal location for visitors looking to experience the trail and surrounding outdoor activities, while enjoying access to downtown Pittsburgh.
