As you know, Pittsburgh has lots of Museums near Downtown and Oakland. Pittsburghers enjoy those place with family, friends, and children. Even though I stay here just 3 years and I am not a citizen, but I know that it's a proud of Pittsburghers. The Heinz History Center is also one of those places.
