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
The 2024 Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Award will be presented at the 24th Annual Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Awards Dinner on Wednesday, October 18, at Rizzo’s Banquet Hall in Crabtree.
The St. Clair Award is presented to those individuals, organizations, businesses or educational institutions that have made a significant and sustainable contribution to the preservation of our historic places, documents, records or stories, and by doing so, are keeping alive Westmoreland County’s rich history and heritage for future generations.
The award is named in honor of Arthur St. Clair, an important figure in the founding of Westmoreland County. When the cause of the American Revolution beckoned, Arthur St. Clair answered that call and rose to the rank of Major General in the Continental Army. After the war he served as the president of Congress under the Articles of Confederation and as the first governor of the Northwest Territory.
2024 Awardees are: TBD
