Buckle up for an evening filled with fun and nostalgia at the West Jefferson Hills Historical Society's September program. During that evening's presentation, award-winning journalists Marylynne Pitz and Laura Malt Schneiderman will reveal the indelible mark that the Kaufmann family's department store and philanthropy have left on the city of Pittsburgh.
As co-authors of the book, Kaufmann's: The Family That Built Pittsburgh's Famed Department Store, they will trace the lives of the Kaufmann brothers who rose from hardscrabble salesmen to Gilded Age multimillionaires. WJHHS and community members alike are invited to attend this free program at 7:00 P.M., on Wednesday, September 24, in the Community Rooms of the Jefferson Hills Borough Building. It is sure to spark countless fond memories of meeting under Kaufmann's clock, eating at the TikTok, or simply shopping at the famous department store.
