Fourth at the Fort

Join the Fort Pitt Museum for an Independence Day celebration of historic proportions.

The Fort Pitt Museum will kick off Fourth of July festivities in Pittsburgh with its annual Fourth at the Fort event in Point State Park. At 1 p.m., Fort Pitt Museum staff, scouts, and local veterans will help raise a 36-foot American flag. The ceremony will commence in the Fort Pitt Block House yard, thanks to an ongoing partnership with the Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, owners of the Fort Pitt Block House – the oldest building in the region.
