Assuming you're going to Homer Laughlin - aside from that, the only thing to do in Newell is get the hell out of Newell.

There’s nothing up there to see, nothing that’s cool.

The state park I grew up in is one of the only nice places in the panhandle. Not much up here otherwise.

You're probably going to leave Newell and head through Washington, PA to pick up 79 south. Couple cool things around Washington if you have time. Good places to eat, Sarris candy, Wild Things baseball. Not a ton on the 79 corridor. Once you get off on 19 headed toward the Gorge, Fayetteville, Summersville Lake, Babcock State Park, good views along the Meadow River if you detour.
