The Greater Monessen Historical Society announces Spring events.

Heritage Museum Spring Exhibit

The Greater Monessen Historical Society announces that the Spring Exhibit in the Heritage Museum will focus on Monessen professional athletes and the strong history of sports in the city. Anyone who has photos or memorabilia they are willing to loan or donate are asked to contact the museum at 724-684-8460.

Celebrate Easter With Some History

For Easter, the Monessen Heritage Museum has a stock of old fashioned printed Easter Basket covers. There are also two books by Lawrence Kozlowski, “Celebrate Easter – Slovak Style” and “Celebrate Easter – Polish Style”. The books cover Eastertide practices and traditions from the cities and countrysides of Poland and Slovakia. Author Lawrence G. Kozlowski takes the readers through the six weeks that make up Fat Tuesday, Lent, and the culmination of Easter Sunday. Included are numerous recipes, a list of the Saints’ Days, how to dye Easter eggs with onion skins, and various crafts. Other chapters include “Holy Week”, “Holy Thursday”, “Holy Saturday”, “Easter Sunday”, “Dousing Monday”, and “Ascension of Our Lord”. The Museum also has postcard images of many old Monessen churches that can be sent with Easter greetings. To order, contact the museum.

The Monessen Heritage Museum will be closed on Good Friday, April 19, 2019.

Museum Shoppe and Ethnic Cookbooks

The Heritage Museum is also home to the Museum Shoppe, which is filled with the area’s largest collection of ethnic cookbooks. They make great gifts. There are also many books and items dealing with local history that are for sale.
