River History Museum in Monongahela PA
There is a little museum on 2nd street, between Railroad and Main Streets called the Monongahela River Buffs Museum. It’s been there a few years and I notice the sign occasionally but I’ve never paid a visit. I found a great review about it on Ten Mile Creek Country. There also is a nice story about it in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. I will definitely visit in the near future and post a few pictures here.
The museum is at 175 Second Street, above the Span-Taylor Drug Store and one half block from the river. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday ( April thru November) at 7:00 pm and the facility is open on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 1 to 3 Pm. It may also be visited by appointment. Their mailing address is Mon River Buffs Assn. PO Box 401, Monongahela Pa. 15063. They can be reached by email atfolmar@zoominternet.net. Dues for membership are 5.00 per year.
Here’s and easy way to see when the museum is open from your car on Main St:
open ............................................ closed
Just glance down Second St. toward the river and see if the sign has been extended.
