I'm Guessing Fayette County,

I am aware of 4 Treasure stories in the County,
includindg a Civil war one of Silver Bars in a cave.

So I'd say Yes, but will let it to someone from the area to confirm

Uniontown, Pa. is located in Fayette County. My whole family on my Dad's side were from Uniontown. Although I spent many summers there & drove there
nearly every weekend while growing up, I have no idea where that park was.
Fort Necessity, Braddock's Grave, the National Road, Searights Tollhouse, Laurel
Caverns & many more are located here. Washington spent much time in this
area, his first battle with the French, his surrender to the French & Indians at
Fort Neccessity, plus this being a hotbed of resistance during the Whiskey Rebellion.

Found a little information on Shady Grove. It is located in North Union Twp.,
Fayette County. It was originally a trolley park. Trolley parks became popular in the late 1800's & early 1900's when people would take streetcars or trains to an
area for picnics or possibly boating. Kennywood Park near Pittsburgh began as
a trolley park but survived & grew into a large amusement park. Another in my area, Olympia Park , had a large lake & skating area & lasted into the 1940's.
Shady Grove is now popular with a swimming pool and campground open to the public.
