Friendship Day! Museum Open Free to All!
Experience history in real life as you visit with costumed interpreters and visiting Colonial Craftsmen in our small pioneer village. Visit the 18th-century crafters, then stop in the schoolhouse to join the class and visit the village blacksmith. Don't forget to look into Armstrong's cabin and stop by the Bee Hive Bake Oven before seeing the barn and workshop. At 2:30, in the Tavern, enjoy a performance by the Pittsburgh Shape Note Singers. This method of writing music was intended to enable those who could not read traditional musical notation to sing in church and social settings. Throughout the Museum grounds, you can visit the villagers and help with tasks as they carry on their daily activities. See you soon in the 18th Century!
