Now that spring is here, why not exercise your body and mind in a fun and interesting way by walking the Monongahela Historic District Walking Tour with a friend?

Historical Society Building

It’s easy. Download the free QR Reader App to your smartphone, and then pick up a free brochure at the Monongahela Historical Society to begin the two-hour self-guided tour.

Simply scan the code next to each site in the brochure to bring up narrated videos that include old photos and additional history about the people who lived there and their stories. Be sure to bring your earbuds for the best sound quality.

While the tour is most complete with the QR codes, it can also be taken with just the brochure.

Learn about the Whiskey Rebellion, the invention of Carborundum, the Underground Railroad, the Italian Immigration, the Great Depression, and many other interesting stories from Monongahela’s 247-year history.

Spend the day in our quaint town or walk sections of the tour at your leisure.

The tour brochure is available for download on the Historical Society’s website at: www.monongahelahistoricalsociety.com. There you will also find other events planned for 2016.
