The Autumn Exhibit at the Monessen Heritage Museum showcases the rivers and boats that transported passengers and cargo up and down the waterways of the Mon Valley region in past years.
See vintage photographs of the old time riverboats, as well as memorabilia salvaged from the boats, when they were being scrapped. The Heritage Museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The Exhibit will be on display until the end of the year.
The annual fund campaign and membership renewal will begin shortly. Single membership is $15 per year. A family membership is $20, and a business membership is $50. Membership is based on the calendar year and includes four issues of the “Valley Historian” newsletter. Additional donations are used to carry out the mission of preserving the ethnic and industrial heritage of the Mon Valley region.
The Historical Society continues to search for individuals with acting ability willing to study and perform as historic characters at GMHS functions. Contact the Museum, if interested or for further information.
GMHS is also looking for interested individuals to build models of Monessen buildings, churches, schools, etc. for display. Use your creative skills to help the Heritage Museum.
The Museum Shoppe has a limited supply of the hard-to-find “Monessen Centennial Book” that was published in 1998 for the city’s 100th anniversary. Copies are $20 each and make great gifts.
