St. John the Baptist Catholic Church
http://www.gribblenation.com/breezewood/church.html
Along the 36 miles that are between the Somerset and Bedford interchanges on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, there is not much to break the monotony of this segment. Yes, there is the Allegheny Tunnel and a full service rest area that motorists can use to countdown the miles on this 30 minute drive between the two interchanges. However it is at milepost 129, that maybe one of the most unique features of the Pennsylvania Turnpike appears. In the town of New Baltimore, one of the few towns the original Turnpike actually runs through, steps from both sides of the Turnpike can carry motorists, if they desire to stop, to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. "The Church on the Turnpike" has become a travelers' tradition since 1940.
