News Items recently released by the Donora Historical Society - throwback jerseys, railroad display and Monongahela Cemetery Anniversary.
VINTAGE DONORA HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL JERSEYS
For the past eight months or so, we have been working with Ebbets Field Flannels on a prototype of a 1938 Donora High School baseball jersey designed from vintage pictures in our archives. This is a replica of the jersey that Stan Musial wore during his playing days with the Dragons featuring his number 16 on the back with DONORA on the front made of black and orange felt numbers and letters. Before Stan wore his famous number 6 for the St. Louis Cardinals, he wore number 16 for Donora. Each authentic throwback jersey is handcrafted especially for you with 100% wool flannel. We do not stock these jerseys at the museum and each is made to order in your desired size from S to 4XL. You can choose from travel gray or home white. Feel free to browse our website and click on our “Merchandise” tab to see pictures of the jersey or stop by the museum to see and feel the original prototype.
For those not familiar with Ebbets Field Flannels, they have been one of the leaders in throwback jerseys, hats and jackets for the past 25 years. Some of their uniforms have been worn in MLB “Turn Back The Clock” games. For more information on Ebbets Field Flannels you can find their link on our website and click on our “Links” tab.
DONORA SOUTHERN RAILROAD
For those railroad enthusiasts, stop by the museum to see our revolving display on the Donora Southern Railroad. Aside from pictures and other artifacts, the two featured pieces are an original locomotive steam whistle that was donated to the museum early last year, and a newly acquired Donora Southern Railroad sponsored baseball jersey.
PRESENTATION - 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF MONONGAHELA CEMETERY
