Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Arsenal served the nation through 5 wars between 1814 and 1926. It suffered a tragedy on September 17, 1862, that was the greatest single day loss of civilian life during the Civil War. Inside “The Allegheny Arsenal Handbook” is the history of Pittsburgh’s last federal military facility in stories, illustrations, maps, and photographs. Authors Tom Powers and Jim Wudarczyk from the Lawrenceville Historical Society will give a PowerPoint presentation followed by a question and answer session.
