Brief History

Football Player Ernie Davis became the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy. He spent part of his boyhood years in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where he lived with his grandparents until relocating to Elmira, New York, to live with his mother and stepfather. In 1961, Davis’ receipt of the Heisman Trophy was historic and unprecedented. He was the first black athlete to win the esteemed award and was the number one pick for the 1962 National Football League draft. He was diagnosed with acute monotypic leukemia on July 30, 1962. He died Saturday, May 18, 1963, and was mourned by the nation. Though Ernie never played a game for the Cleveland Browns, they retired his number 45, which he wore only in practice. Both houses of U.S. Congress eulogized Davis. In Elmira, more than 10,000 citizens passed the house where he lay in state. All flags in the city were flown at half-staff. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.

The Passport to Freedom is dedicated to the lives of brave men and women who traveled through Indiana County on their way to freedom and to the Abolitionists who believed in their cause. At the risk of being fined and arrested, they willingly aided these people in flight of their quest for safety. As these freedom seekers traveled north through Indiana County, they were sheltered and moved from one place to another. The "Rescue of 1858: Newton's Escape" occurred in Blairsville and is reenacted annually during the town's Diamond Days Celebration in August. The Underground Railroad History Center houses panels that cover the effects of this movement.

Brief History

The Underground Railroad Center serves as Blairsville's Underground Railroad history museum. The UGRR Center houses two main exhibits: "Freedom in the Air," which is the account of the Indiana County abolitionists and their involvement in the movement of fugitives from the south to safety in Canada. The other exhibit is "A Day in the Life of an Enslaved Child," which serves to educate the viewer on the daily rituals of enslaved children. This exhibit allows for some hand-on experiences to better help students and adults understand this area of history. The Center also offers tours by appointment and serves as a meeting place for groups who have historic and informational programs along the same lines. The UGRR Center is located in the former Second Baptist Church, built in 1918. The Second Baptist Church was established by African Americans who came to Blairsville to work in nearby factories. The Second Baptist Church relocated to 241 E. Campbell Street, which once housed an AME Zion Church.

Brief History

Providing spiritual and moral leadership, Ebenezer Baptist Church was a popular social gathering place in the Hill District. It was the first church edifice in western Pennsylvania owned by black Baptists, who built their first church in 1882, after being organized in 1875. The first pastor was Rev. R. Henry Marshall. By 1896, there were 600 members. In 1914, the church was moved from its first site at Colwell and Miller Streets to its present location, and the current church was built in 1930 and 1931. This church stands as an early example of the organizational cohesiveness of the black community in Allegheny County, and particularly the Hill.

ELEVEN, where Downtown meets the Strip, is the eleventh and most innovative restaurant from the big Burrito restaurant group. CONTEMPORARY American flavors are combined to create a fresh and truly original menu. The KITCHEN, the center of Eleven's high-energy urban atmosphere, is where indigenous and seasonal ingredients provide inspiration for Executive Chef Derek Stevens and his team. ELEVEN CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN—Complex flavors, simply prepared.

Eleven dramatically transforms an industrial-style space that last housed a brewpub, preserving the airy openness, adding the warmth of vibrant textures and lavish woodwork. The two story dining area surrounds an open kitchen, drawing guests up-close for the action. A highlight of the restaurant is the Chef’s Table, enveloped by the excitement of the kitchen.  The bakery is framed by large windows, facing the energy of the main dining room on one side, and the bustle of Smallman Street on another.

An elevated, glass-enclosed wine room is stocked with more than 220 varieties. Eleven’s large bar features comfortable, lounge-style seating with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto the sidewalk; the imaginative cocktail list focuses on fresh and seasonal juices.

One of Pennsylvania’s best-preserved iron furnaces that dates back to 1846. At it’s peak, the furnace employed more than 90 people and used 45 mules to produce about 1,080 tons of iron a year.

Brief History

Fairview Park was founded in the 1940s by regional African-American church groups as an alternative to the local amusement parks that excluded them. At one point, the park had a roller coaster, a merry-go-round, a skating rink, a swimming pool, softball fields, swings, see-saws, a sandbox, a petting zoo and hot-air balloon rides. As racial segregation became less prevalent, the park lost much of its appeal for the African-American community. Approximately 52 acres of the original park is still maintained by the Fairview Park Association.

Brief History

In the lower Hill District, "Freedom Corner" became a rallying point for blacks demanding civil rights during the 1960s when blacks rallied against the Urban Redevelopment Authority's plan to build middle-income housing in the middle and upper Hill. Since then, the corner has hosted many rallies, protests and parades. It represents the strength and cohesiveness of the black community in Pittsburgh and the center of black community strength in Allegheny County.

Brief History

Started in 1967, Freedom House Ambulance Service was reportedly the first paramedic service in the nation equipped with resuscitation equipment in a van-type vehicle rather than a limousine-type ambulance. It was first restricted to operating only in the Hill District because the police ambulances would not come into the neighborhood to pick up blacks. A grant from the city and the federal government allowed Freedom House Ambulance Service to expand its operations to include Downtown and Oakland. One of the most heroic moments for the service was the resuscitation of Pennsylvania House Speaker K. Leroy Irvis at Washington Plaza. This organization represented the pioneering and influential black business community, organized despite racial discrimination. This was also the site of Johny's Bar, a popular neighborhood leisure and social site; before becoming Johny's, it was Littman's Bar and Grill.
