Connellsville Little House Society Inc is a non-profit organization located in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. The Society was established to preserve the history of the Little House on Water Street, which was the birthplace of author Laura Ingalls Wilder. The Little House was built in 1872 and was the home of Laura's grandparents, Samuel and Lucy Ingalls.

The Society was founded in 1978 by a group of local residents who were passionate about preserving the historical significance of the Little House. The Society is run by a volunteer board of directors and relies on donations from the community to maintain the property.

The Little House has been restored to its original condition and is open to the public for tours. Visitors can learn about the Ingalls family and their life in Connellsville during the late 1800s. The Society also hosts events throughout the year, such as craft fairs and Christmas open houses.

In addition to preserving the history of the Little House, the Society also maintains a collection of artifacts and documents related to the Ingalls family and their time in Connellsville. The Society's mission is to educate the public about the importance of preserving historical landmarks and to inspire future generations to continue the work of preserving our history.

Puddles from overflow Red waterfall Great Allegheny Passage @ Pennsylvania
GAP: Red Waterfall in 2024 Demonstrating acid mine drainage The water here is acid and iron-rich, coming up to the surface from underground mines, staining the rocks rust-red. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of water pollution and the cause of the extensive stream degradation and environmental damage. Where did this mine water come from? The Ocean Coal Company, a subsidiary of Berwind-White Coal Company of Philadelphia, PA established several mines in this region including in 1900, Ocean No. 2. It is purported that drainage from Ocean No. 2 is the chief cause of the Red Waterfall. Why is it acidic and full of iron? Hundreds of millions of years ago, the massive Pittsburgh Coal Seam formed underneath parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio from ancient swamp plants. Sand, silts, shells, and other matter were deposited and made a rock seal over the carbon rich vegetation. This rock contained the mineral "pyrite", made of iron and sulfur. Cola mining exposes pyrite to oxygen and ground water causing the formation of sulfuric acid and a number of red, orange, and yellow compounds. AMD occurs when this mine water seeps, or in this sea, bursts out into streams. The yellow sulfur can be seen in the shale near coal seams.
