POINT STATE PARK - FORT PITT MUSEUM

Point State Park is located at the confluence of three rivers, the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers gathered here to form the Ohio River. There is a large basin in which a 46 m high water jet is set, as well as the remains of two of the oldest buildings in the city, Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt, witnesses of the Conquest of Conquest, also known as French and Indian War, or "war against the French and Indians" (1754-1760). This North American war, which pitted the Kingdom of France and its American allies to the British Crown aided by the Iroquois, began in the region.

On 2 floors, the Fort Pitt Museum presents the history of the war against the French and Indians and the essential role of Western Pennsylvania in conquering the New World.
