Speaker Saturday: Natural History on the American Frontier

Join Fort Pitt Museum for an afternoon with historian Jonathan Lady.

The Age of Enlightenment’s philosophical and intellectual movement of reason and scientific knowledge that occurred in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries spurred a growing interest in the natural world. In Jonathan Lady’s lecture, learn how naturalists such as father and son John and William Bartram, George Morgan, and others studied the environment of early America.

The program will take place in the Fort Pitt Auditorium on the museum’s first floor.
