Founded in 1980 as a non-profit organization, the McKeesport Regional History & Heritage Center is a museum and research facility dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of McKeesport, PA and the Mon Valley region for public education, research and enjoyment. The Center moved to its present facility in Renziehausen Park, next to the Rose Garden, in 1991.
Our members hail from local neighborhoods and across the United States. Memberships, foundation gifts, grants, and individual donations fund our operations and we welcome the public with FREE ADMISSION for our exhibits.
