Get to the point of Pittsburgh history by taking a one-hour highlights tour of the Fort Pitt Museum.
Built in 1759, Fort Pitt is a partially restored British military installation that was designed to protect the Ohio River and nearby colonists in what historians call the French & Indian War (1754-1763).
The French & Indian War was an extension of the bitter Seven Year’s War (1754-1763) between the Kingdom Of Great Britain and the Kingdom Of France to determine which would be the dominate power in the Western World. The fort was named in honor of British statesman William Pitt (1708-1778).
Following the tour, visitors are encouraged to re-visit displays and exhibits to learn more about Fort Pitt, the French & Indian War, and the American Revolution. For more information, call (412) 471-1764.
