Rivers of Steel Heritage Corporation conserves, interprets and develops historical, cultural and recreational resources throughout western Pennsylvania, including the eight counties that comprise the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. The dynamic and powerful story of the regionÕs evolution from colonial settlement to ÒBig SteelÓ to the modern era is evident in its many artifacts, buildings, vibrant communities and industrial sites. Among other destinations, such core landmarks as the Carrie Blast Furnaces Nos. 6 and 7, PinkertonÕs Landing, the Pump House and Water Tower at the site of the former United States Steel Homestead Works, and the W. A. Young Foundry and Machine Shop at Rices Landing on the Monongahela River, illustrate the magnitude of this story.
