Who We Are
Our Mission
We operate our museum and research facility to preserve and present the history of McKeesport and its surrounding communities for public education and enjoyment.
Our Vision
We're creating a community (members, visitors, and residents...past, present, and future) with a greater understanding and appreciation of this region's history and its diverse cultural heritage.
Our History
Founded in 1980, the McKeesport Regional History & Heritage Center preserves and shares the history of McKeesport and the Mon Valley. Our museum features McKeesport’s first schoolhouse, built in 1832, seven rooms of exhibits, and a research library. Our collections are made possible by donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations.
Members from near and far enjoy free admission to most programs, private tour arrangements, gift shop discounts, research archive access, and use of our Ancestry.com and Newspapers.com subscriptions.
