Outside of the steel industry, the business that is probably most synonymous with the city of Pittsburgh is Heinz. Founded in 1869 by Senator John Heinz, this brand has become world renowned especially for their ketchup. In downtown Pittsburgh, is the
Senator John Heinz History Center, which is a museum dedicated to not only the history of Heinz, but also to the history of the city of Pittsburgh, with two floors concentrating on the history of sports in the city. This building is easily recognizable with the big bottle of Heinz Ketchup located on the roof.
This museum was definitely one of the highlights on our trip to Pittsburgh, and I think it is something many people that live in the area and visit the area miss. There are various interactive exhibits that both kids and adults can enjoy. This is a place I highly recommend to anyone that is in the Pittsburgh area. Also, remember to show your AAA card for a small $1 discount on the $10 admission price.
