We're visiting a contemporary café, market and coffee shop with the feel of an old-time neighborhood grocery, sampling extraordinary seafood in one of the “Best Bars in Pittsburgh” and visiting the region’s epicenter of vegetarian Indian cuisine.

For a city only two centuries old, Pittsburgh has amassed a surprising amount of history. To assemble this collection of 50 of the region’s most fascinating historical artifacts, we hunted through museums, archives and private collections. We also looked for things many of us might pass each day without appreciating their significance. History, at its core, is a story. Each of these objects is a part of a bigger story — of a confluence of three rivers flowing down through the ages, and of the people who came to live by those rivers, and what they made and said and did.
