Mr. Bob Stakeley, Director of the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, will be the Peters Creek Historical Society's guest speaker on Monday, October 28.   The program will be held at 7:30PM at Wrights United Methodist Church, 788 Venetia Road, in Venetia.

The program titled "An Overview of the Heinz History Center" will feature the museum's newest exhibit.  Located in Pittsburgh's iconic Strip District, the overview and featured exhibit at the history center will be an informative update for those who have visited and those with a "to do" visit on 

their bucket list. Society members are reminded about the four free admissions to the history center by showing your Peters Creek Historical Society membership card.

Stay tuned to a recent project undertaken by the historical society under the guidance of member Len Marraccini and Penn West University (formerly California University of Pennsylvania).  The project is to locate and mark the unmarked mass graves of 15 black miners killed in the Cincinnati Mine disaster of 1913 and buried in the Finleyville Cemetery.  The initial survey took place on April 25 using Penn West University Ground Penetrating Radar and yielded one location with remnants of a trench and a number of burials.  A second survey is planned to expand on the found location to locate the rest of the unmarked burials.  Once the project is complete, donations will be accepted to help fund a memorial marker to be placed at the site to honor the fallen miners.
