Greater Monessen Historical Society

The Greater Monessen Historical Society was founded in 1995 with a mission to protect, preserve, and enhance Monessen’s strong ethnic diversity and rich industrial heritage. It is a recipient of the Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Award, which recognizes a “significant and sustainable contribution to the preservation of our historic places, documents, records or stories.” Admission is free. There is also a Museum Shoppe filled with the area’s largest assortment of ethnic cookbooks, along with local history items. We are a 501 © (3) organization.
