  • This building is no longer a forgotten relic. It has been renovated into a working distillery called Stay Tuned Distillery. The feature there will be small batch gin and whisky along with a partnership with Copper Fox Distillery from Virginia. Come check out the complete renovation! Also, we want to collect stories about this building (since it has such a storied past) so that during tours we can talk about the products as well as the JMNH.
  • Justin & Peter, we are so happy you are there, and we want to share as many stories as we can. Got great pictures last visit. I have a surprise for your museum, an item from the past. The building is so rich in history, I will try to compile as many facts as I can this winter. We need to share it with your clients. Did you read the book on the history of Munhall yet? It's a treasure. What plans if any do you have for the playground? Thanks
  • Who wrote the Bio??? The Neighborhood House was so much more. It was a community center where imigrants learned the English language, as well as skills & occupations for the New World. They had a New Family, as they adjusted to their new job in the steel mills. They had a place to unwind, relax, share concerns & ideas of settling in to their new country. What little time they had for recreation, it was well deserved. They worked long & hard, the Steel Mill was Hot, Dirty & Unforgiving, but they gave their Life Blood. In later years it was a community center for the local children who learned many skills as well, while learning fair play, lasting friendships, and a tiny glimpse of what the world held for us as adults. It was so much more than anyone could imagine. We had people who gave their heart & soul to mold us into the fine citizens we are today. We are ever so gratefull. Wish these establishments still existed for our grandchildren.
