Yes, and there usually doesn't seem to be a reason.

Once you climb 40 out of oniontown across what used to be THE truck route for MD/PA - you would be surprised what is tucked back in there. Just dont go in snow...(friday prez weekend was nightmare...)
Morgantown is the home of West Virginia University, but I don't think any city in that state would be considered "major." The state's largest city is its capital, Charleston, and its population is about the same as Lancaster's.

Edited to add: There's another reason Fallingwater is associated with Pittsburgh — Fayette County, in which the house is located, is one of the counties comprising the Pittsburgh MSA.

Morgantown, Pa., is at the southern end of I-176, the spur from the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Reading. It's closer to Philadelphia than to Pittsburgh, and even closer to Amish country than to the Laurel Highlands.

I'm pretty sure the Morgantown he was referring to is the one in West Virginia, a little more than an hour south of Pittsburgh, where I-79 and I-68 meet.

For Your information, Morgantown (Berks County) was the setting for the "Grace Iron Mine" of Bethlehem Steel. There were two vertical shafts of 3,000+ feet depth. It had a short 19 year life.
