American Battlefield Trust Park Day at the BBHC
Volunteers Needed for Annual Clean Up Day!
Saturday, April 26, 2025
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
 
Spring into action and help the BBHC spruce up the property surrounding the museum for the American Battlefield Trust’s Annual Park Day! The American Battlefield Trust (ABT) preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. The BBHC stands on the very ground where the Battle of the Monongahela – better known as “Braddock’s Defeat” – took place on July 9, 1755.
 
Activities include:

• Picking up litter and trash around the museum and painting (long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and gloves recommended)
• Free admission to the museum with a children’s activity at noon and an 18th Century Roundtable at 2:00 PM
• Lunch and water provided

For additional information, contact BBHC Public Engagement and Operations Manager Shawn MacIntyre at [email protected]
or 412-271-0800.
