For decades, the Visitor’s Center at the Horseshoe Curve has welcomed countless guests, sharing the incredible story of one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements right here in Altoona. Now, Visitor's Center that houses that history needs your help!

We are launching a critical fundraiser to replace the aging roof at the Visitor’s Center. Our goal is to raise $60,000 to ensure our exhibits, and facilities remain safe and dry for future generations of rail fans, students, and tourists.

Every contribution helps us preserve the legacy of the Curve. Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, your support makes a massive difference.

Today, we held two special ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

First up, we officially celebrated the reopening of the funicular (incline)! A huge shoutout to Discover Blair County - The First Frontier and America250PA for partnering with us to help make this happen. It will be available on weekends (Saturday/Sunday), starting this Saturday, June 27th. The UTV will be available Wed-Fri starting next week. This will be an alternative way to get to the top for those who can't take the steps.

Right after that, we dedicated our brand new, 80-foot flagpole that's now sitting proud right on top of the observation area. It feels amazing to see a massive flag flying high over the Curve once again. 🇺🇸

Seriously, thank you so much to everyone who has supported us, cheered us on, and helped make these big dreams a reality. Come out and see the new view and take a ride on the funicular soon!
