Step back in time with the Fort Pitt Museum! First opened in 1969 in a reconstructed bastion, the Fort Pitt Museum provides visitors with a rich understanding of the world-changing events that occurred right here in Western Pennsylvania. Let the artifacts do the storytelling as a representative from the museum showcases a few remarkable relics from their rich collection.
