    Never been in. There's a bike fixings station out front that saved me in a pinch. Thanks. Love riding my bike around that area and just do laps. 🤘

    Somehow both succinct and exhaustive, they also manage to have great interactives for everyone and a solid historical narrative. An excellent museum and well worth the very reasonable ticket price.

    Nice little museum that gives a good overview of the early history of the area and of The Point. Building exterior is constructed to give a hint of what a section of the wall of Ft. Pitt was once like. Through the exhibits you will learn how the area was of strategic importance in the years when France and England and their various Native American allies were vying for control of the region and its trade routes and how it traded hands over time. Hard to comprehend this urban area as a wilderness outpost but this museum does a good job of helping one visualize that time.
