TO BUY TICKETS ON TOUR DAY ($30), GO TO THE WARDEN HOUSE AT 200 SOUTH CHURCH ST. IN MOUNT PLEASANT
The Westmoreland Historical Society is once again opening doors to the remarkably rich history of Westmoreland County with our Historic House Tour. This year’s tour features seven houses in the Mount Pleasant area dating from 1785 to 1904.
Since 2007 the WHS has provided a historic house tour in the fall. The homes and lives of the people of Westmoreland County reflect the history of America and the important role our county has played. National and world events are carried out, or reflected, at the local level by our family, neighbors, and friends. History can be told in their stories – in our stories. The Historic House Tour is part of the Westmoreland Historical Society’s ongoing effort to move history from the abstract “past” and make it real to you.
All ticket holders receive a map with directions to each location and a keepsake booklet with historical information.
Advance sale tickets for the Saturday Tour are $25 and can be purchased at:
The Museum Shop at Historic Hanna’s Town (809 Forbes Trail Road, Greensburg),
By phone (724-836-1800 x210),

Event Details
Discover the vibrant world of watercolor painting through the unique palette crafted from farm products and local foraged pigments at Historic Hanna’s Town. We will be walking the trails and area to collect pigment and create our own watercolor paint with local farm fresh honey!
What are natural watercolor pigments? Natural watercolor pigments are derived from organic materials, offering a rich, earthy palette that synthetic paints often lack. By using elements sourced from local farms and natural foraging, artists can create stunning works that reflect the beauty of their surroundings.
Please dress accordingly for walking in wooded areas.
Historic Hanna’s Town is a beautiful and quiet Westmoreland County park. While we do work to preserve our historic built environment on site, we are also dedicated to preserving our natural environment through demonstration gardens, native plant restoration, and developing walking trails.
Pre-registration encouraged. Walk-ins also welcome. Please check in at the front desk of the Museum Shop upon arrival.
$10 for non-members | $8 for members.
