West Overton Museums celebrates 95 years by reopening museum's second floor.
On June 16, 1928, 500 visitors gathered in the yard of the 1838 Overholt home for the dedication of the “History House.” Henry Clay Frick’s daughter Helen oversaw and funded the transformation of the home into a historic site to feature the history of Westmoreland and Fayette Counties. Shortly after, the shuttered 1859 distillery was recommissioned as a museum.
Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum is hosting the “Fill the Hill” event which allows people to honor a veteran. With every $20 donation, a flag will be placed on Soldiers & Sailors’ front lawn, with a special illumination on Veterans Day.
