Event Details
This fall, the Westmoreland Historical Society will again open doors to the remarkable history of Westmoreland County during our Historic House Tour. Once again this year, due to the pandemic, we have created a unique virtual event set for September 18, 2021. We will take guests on a virtual tour, “Gone But Not Forgotten,” of houses and hotels from across the county that aren’t here anymore. In addition to photos of the exteriors and interiors, guests will learn about the history of the county, the stories of the original owners, and how the style and architecture of a building provide clues to its history.
“Gone But Not Forgotten” highlights nearly 20 buildings that once stood such as the McComb and Saxman residences in Latrobe, Cabin Hill and Rose Fountain Farm in Greensburg, Mountain View Hotel in Unity Township, and Belvedere Hotel in Oklahoma Borough as well as properties in Scottdale, Mt. Pleasant, New Kensington, Laughlintown, and other areas.
PROGRAM FEE: This program is $25 and benefits the Westmoreland Historical Society. Tickets are available through our online shop here. Attendees may also request an invitation by calling 724-836-1800 x200 or emailing their name and address to history@westmorelandhistory.org. Checks are payable to: Westmoreland Historical Society, 809 Forbes Trail Road, Greensburg, PA 15601
We will celebrate the tour in an historic home at our Toast the Tour Cocktail Party on September 10.

Event Details
Come volunteer at the Westmoreland Historical Society and Historic Hanna’s Town!
We will be having our first volunteer meeting of the year on Wednesday, February 22nd and also on Saturday, February 25th. We will be having two meetings to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. If you can’t make it Wednesday, come Saturday! Both meetings will begin at 1:00 p.m. in our Education Center.
Volunteers can work with the public by greeting visitors, leading programs and tours, and helping at the gift shop, or can assist behind-the-scenes shelving books in the library, setting up for events, or caring for our gardens. Volunteer hours are flexible and customizable. There are many ways to get involved and help us preserve and share local history.
This is a general meeting for returning and new volunteers to introduce themselves and to plan and discuss the upcoming season at Historic Hanna’s Town, with the intent of setting up later volunteer trainings and orientations for those interested in guided tours, school tours, etc. This will be a point of discussion at this volunteer meeting, and those interested in volunteering with the shop, library, or other opportunities can also call to set up private training.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to share your skills with others – and learn new ones, too. We are open to volunteers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to high school and college students, homeschool students, retirees, teachers, and history enthusiasts.
