The Old Stone House is a historic inn and museum of rural life located in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1822 by John Brown as a stagecoach stop and tavern to accommodate business from the newly-constructed Pittsburgh to Erie Pike, a busy highway that carried traffic northward from the forks of the Ohio River. During its long history, the Stone House also served as a local post office and was used as a muster point during the Civil War. By the 1870s, the growth of the railroads meant the house was no longer needed as a stopping place for highway travelers. Consequently, the structure was rented as a family farmstead. Tenants still accepted occasional travelers for the night, and on Sunday, served chicken dinners to guests. Finally, in 1963 the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, hoping to attract visitors to the northern side of Moraine State Park, undertook the task of restoring the historic building. When the project was finished, the house was furnished with artifacts donated by local citizens. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy turned over the restored structure to the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) which operated the site as a museum for 20 years. In the early 1980s, when the nationwide recession hit the tourist industry, the PHMC decided to sell the Stone House. Eventually, the PHMC approached SRU with a proposal to enhance the university’s administration over the site. SRU President G. Warren Smith recognized the potential of the property for furthering the educational mission of the university, and in 1999 SRU took over ownership of the site. Today the Old Stone House museum is managed by faculty and students from the university’s History department.

The gently rolling hills, lush forests and sparkling waters disguise a land that has endured the effects of continental glaciers and massive mineral extraction. Each year over one million people visit the 16,725-acre park, yet never realize that many people helped restore the park from prior coal mining and oil and gas drilling practices. Today, the park is an outstanding example of environmental engineering achievement.

"Having our wedding at the Smith Student Center was a truly wonderful experience. Both the Student Center and AVI Fresh catering were friendly, flexible, accomodating and knowledgeable about everything from the ceremony, to the rain location, to the reception. Throughout the process, I felt so confident knowing that the event was in their hands. On our wedding day, everything went just as we hoped. Having staff members on sire during the event was especially helpful. We recieved endless compliments on our beautiful venue choice and I would recommend it to anyone."

My sister and brother-in-law's special day was that much better. We couldn't have asked for a better team of people to help! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
"We can't thank you enough for all your time and hard work that you put into making our wedding experience at SRU amazing.

Thank you for everything you and your team did for us! We got so many compliments from our guests."
