in 1953, ground was broken for Point State Park as part of Pittsburgh's Renaissance. Eight years prior, Pa. Gov. Edward Martin committed funds for creating the park with hopes to revitalize downtown.

During construction and grading in the 1950s and 1960s, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History conducted archeological surveys to rescue any items of historical significance and identify the locations and outlines of Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt. Both studies discovered original bricks, mortar, and stone.

The construction of the park was completed in 1974, and today, the 59-acre Point, bounded by Stanwix Street and the Allegheny and Monongahela riverbanks, includes multiple office and residential towers, four bridges over land and water, one of the world’s tallest fountains, and the Fort Pitt Museum.

Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy maintains lovely parks downtown 🙏

After 1990, Pittsburgh transformed into a hub for the health care, education, and technology industries

The city of bridges
446 bridges
712 sets of stairs
33,498 trees

Home to the steepest street in the country, Canton Avenue at 37°

We have a fourth underground river , Geologists have been able to determine the first to tap this hidden resource was the Harmony Society, which drilled a well in Ambridge area in 1873

Expanding industrial base in 1860 created a huge demand for labor, attracting mainly German immigrants to the region. This created a serious housing shortage as industry occupied most of the flat lands adjacent to the river, leaving only the steep, surrounding hillsides of Mt. Washington or "Coal Hill" for housing. However, travel between the "hill" and other areas was hindered by a lack of good roads or public transport.

November is National Native American Heritage Month, and the Fort Pitt Museum celebrates the history and contributions of American Indian communities, with emphasis on those who once lived in the region: the Delaware (Lenape), Seneca, Seneca-Cayuga, and Shawnee tribes.

Explore the vital roles these communities played during key historical events through interactive exhibits and 18th-century artifacts at the museum. Fort Pitt’s newest exhibition, Homelands: Native Nations of Allegheny, was created in collaboration with the American Indian communities mentioned above and highlights their enduring legacies.

Throughout November, kids 17 and under will receive FREE admission to the Fort, thanks to the generous support of UPMC and UPMC Health Plan.
