Visit the site of the historic Fort Pitt Museum in downtown Pittsburgh. Strategically built at the forks of the Ohio River in 1759 and added onto in 1764, the current two-story museum first opened to the public in 1969. Learn about the role the Steel City played in shaping the United States through interactive exhibitions and attractions, and recently added artifacts.
If you love history, art or science, you will definitely want to visit the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. The Carnegie Institute operates the Carnegie Museums, and two of the four facilities can be found alongside the headquarters. Visit the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History in the same complex, or travel a bit to see the Carnegie Science Center and the Andy Warhol Museum.
Located at the tip of Pittsburgh’s confluence of three rivers, Point State Park preserves and commemorates a historical marker for the state and the country. See one of the most dramatic views of the Pittsburgh riverfront, and take some time to relax outdoors at the park’s waterways, scenic hillsides, many bridges and 100-foot-tall fountain. Or, learn about the past by visiting the Fort Duquesne remains and the Fort Pitt Museum.
