The Sewickley Heights History Center strives to preserve the history
and natural beauty of Sewickley Heights, while maintaining its historical
integrity. Located on one of the original farms, the Museum is surrounded by
rolling
acreage, nature trails, and scenic views. A unique collection of film,
photos, and vintage attire, combined with antique cars and carriages, honors
the
lifestyle of Pittsburgh’s early Industrialists. Providing educational programs
and family based activities that are accessable to the community throughout
the year, the admission-free Museum also
hosts special events and lectures.
Watch for news about our free Family Fun Day event, held in the Spring,
and the ever popular annual Riding and Driving Party, held in the Fall.
