This museum is located in the same vicinity as "The Fountain" at Point State Park. If you're sightseeing there, you could pop into this museum (and check it off of your bucket list) if you care to know more about early Pittsburg.
This is probably one of the least impressive museums that I have ever visited. It is small (two floors) and had no special exhibits during our most recent visit. The first floor features a 3D map of early Pittsburg and a few paintings (many are replicas) of early influential historical figures in the area. There are also two replica cabins displaying what life would have been like for soldiers or Natives in the 1700's. The second floor is visually more appealing, but I personally found the content displaying Native Americans as "savages" who captured and scalped White European settlers to be disheartening. I wasn't a fan of that exhibit. The second exhibit regarding the revolutionary war was pretty boring.
Other features include reenactment scenes of soldiers (outside of the museum). They shoot off a cannon at designated times. I also noticed a volunteer tour guide who was offering to guide guests through the facility.
I'm hard-pressed to believe that anybody would actually rate this museum five stars. While it may have potential to be more captivating, it hasn't reached its full potential yet. Hopefully, "the powers that be" are saving the admission fees in their piggy bank to bring Fort Pitt museum up to speed.
