 With her presentation, “The Extent of the Damage: Allegheny Arsenal 1862," Ms. Morris will recount one of Pittsburgh’s saddest days. 

On September 17, 1862--the same day as the Battle of Antietam--an explosion rocked Lawrenceville's Allegheny Arsenal, claiming the lives of 78 workers, most of them young women. The program, which is free to the public, will detail how this tragedy unfolded as well as its devastating impact on the local community. Historical society and community members will not want to miss hearing this sad but riveting tale from Pittsburgh's past.
