About Pittsburgh Labor History Trail
Pittsburgh Labor History Trail uses existing historical sites in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to create a cultural heritage experience that “connects the dots” and relates a coherent understanding about labor, industrialization and today’s technological innovations in shaping the region’s past, present and future.
The labor history of the Pittsburgh region is more than a chronicle of strikes and battles; it is a vitally instructive narrative relating how American society evolves to be more equitable and inclusive through its citizens’ interactions in the daily workplace, as it reveals the important role these workers played in shaping their communities past and present.
As you visit sites along the Trail, let us know your thoughts by emailing battleofhometead@gmail.com … and please let us know if you have additional sites you would like to see listed!
