The health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff remains our top priority. In compliance with the recommendations of local and state officials to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Heinz History Center, Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, Fort Pitt Museum, and Detre Library & Archives will remain temporarily closed to the public until further notice.
All public programs originally scheduled through April 30 are either postponed or canceled. This is a fluid situation, so please continue to follow our website and social media platforms for the most up-to-date information on our museums and programs.
The Thomas & Katherine Detre Library & Archives at the Senator John Heinz History Center is Western Pennsylvania’s preeminent source for researching the region’s rich history.
