Little Dragon Game Shirts For Sale

At the Donora Historical Society we collect any artifact related to Donora, whether it’s from a school, church, social club, sporting team or family.

Little Dragon T-Shirt

Over the years, in some cases, we’ve received multiples of the same exact artifact. When that occurs, on very rare occasions, we’ll share those artifacts with other Donora institutions or even sell them outright to make money for the historical society. We do that currently with the Golden Jubilee booklets (1951) and the Diamond Jubilee anniversary plates (1976) both of which we have in abundance.

A few years after the Little Dragons stopped fielding midget league football teams, someone involved in the program gave us boxes of old uniforms. The reality is that we only have room to keep a handful of shirts of each design and may only be able to display just one or two at any given time. We have found that in some cases there are duplicates and triplicates of the same number within the same shirt design. There are five different shirt designs, most with either having DONORA on the front or a Dragon on the sleeve. There are even some orange pants with black and white stripes.

Our goal has always been to make the artifacts available for people to enjoy. While we can do that at the Smog Museum, we could also enable people to possibly have their own shirts. These are youth size shirts that could fit shoulder pads so they could fit men or women of smaller stature.

As a fundraiser for the historical society, we are selling a portion of the extra shirts so that others can enjoy them. You can rest assured that we’ll continue to preserve and display the remaining shirts for future generations to enjoy.

In general, the shirts will sell for $40, the price of which could be adjusted for condition. Most are game worn, but others are in mint condition. Pickup can be arranged at the Smog Museum on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. or Donora Library Monday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Friday/Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

We Can Do It! WWII
World War II Vets Needed to Discuss their Experiences at Exhibit

The Donora Historical Society and Donora Public Library, in partnership with the Senator John Heinz History Center of Pittsburgh, will once again be hosting a traveling exhibit –“We Can Do It! WWII.” Starting on Saturday, February 1, 2020 and running for nine and a half weeks thru Tuesday, April 7, 2020, the exhibit will be available to the general public, school groups, and social clubs.

In anticipation for this exhibit, the Donora Historical Society is looking for WWII Veterans that would like to discuss their experiences with school students. An overview of their military career with a Q&A with the students should be expected. The veteran should feel free to bring anything that enhances the discussion. While the WWII exhibit has an enormous amount of interactive detail and the teachers will be prepped with study guides supplied by the Heinz History Center, there is nothing like that personal touch, especially since these veterans probably enlisted at an age that wasn’t too much older than the age of the visiting students. Please contact us by phone or email.
