The Historical Society of Mount Lebanon is classified as a 501(c)(3), non-profit educational organization. The Society’s purpose is to interpret and preserve the history of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The Society will foster a knowledge and appreciation of that history among its members and the general public and will conduct research, mount exhibits, distribute publications, and carry out interpretive projects to accomplish its purpose. The Society may, from time to time, acquire real property, artifacts, archival materials, and other objects consistent with its purpose.
Mt. Lebanon is located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, about six miles south of Pittsburgh. The six-square-mile area was mostly farmland when it was incorporated as a first class township on February 6, 1912. The opening of the Liberty Tunnels in May 1924, however, created easy access to the city and growth accelerated. Mt. Lebanon quickly became an example of an “automobile suburb.”
