The Greater Monessen Historical Society presents this exhibit honoring the town's veterans featuring photographs, uniforms, medals and military memorabilia from all branches covering the Civil War through the Iraq Conflict.

Named after a German city, Monessen is a small town in rural Westmoreland County that was once a steel-making center with more than 20,000 people. It was a Rust Belt town in the "Mon Valley" of southwestern Pennsylvania. The population began dropping after its largest employer, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, closed nearly all its Monessen operations in 1986.

The Greater Monessen Historical Society is composed of citizens who come from Monessen's diverse ethnic heritage and strong industrial background who want to protect, preserve and enhance that heritage. For more information, call (724) 684-8460.
