Kane, Pennsylvania, lies in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest and is known as the Black Cherry Capital of the World for exceptional veneer milled from local trees and crafted into fine furniture and cabinets. In summer, visitors come for fishing and boating on the Allegheny Reservoir, while an average of 105 inches of annual snowfall provides easy access to snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. Kane also has a naturally low pollen count and cool, fresh mountain air. Founded in 1864 by General Thomas L. Kane, a humanitarian and commander of the Civil War Bucktail Regiment, the town was later linked to his engineering of the Kinzua Viaduct in 1882, then the longest and tallest railroad bridge in the world. After a tornado partially destroyed the viaduct in 2003, it was reinvented as the Kinzua Sky Walk.
