For centuries Pittsburgh was the indigenous home of the Seneca peoples, but by the mid-1700s Britain and France drove them out in bloody battles of control. Over the next two hundred years, Pittsburgh grew to be one the most industrious steel towns in the country, producing over 50% of all American steel by 1911. However, that success came with the 1877 railway riots — one of the most violent worker uprisings America had ever seen. After World War II, the gleam of Pittsburgh wore off, the steel and rail industries collapsed. Its golden days seemed long past. But in recent years, the city has bounced back, and new businesses are popping up — atop burial grounds, steel workers’ dreams, and ancient civilizations. Learn the storied history of Pittsburgh — good, bad, and bloody — on a Pittsburgh Ghost Tour. Book your spot today.
