Heinz History Center celebrates the holidays
The Senator John Heinz History Center is marking the holidays by showcasing artifacts and images throughout its first-floor Great Hall exploring how Western Pennsylvanians have celebrated major winter holidays, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali and Kwanzaa.
Visitors can also explore memorable objects from Kaufmann’s Santaland, including Santa’s original chair and giant Mr. and Mrs. Claus ornaments. In addition, they can see the mailbox where thousands of Pittsburgh children mailed their Christmas wish lists to the North Pole.
The installation is on view through Jan. 8.
Santa will also be visiting the History Center on Christmas Eve from 10 a.m. to noon.
The History Center is offering free admission for children aged 17 and under through Jan. 8.
