The Squirrel Hill Historical Society, formed in 2000, is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers dedicated to researching, preserving and celebrating the history of Squirrel Hill, the largest and most diverse neighborhood in the city of Pittsburgh. The SHHS offers monthly lectures on topics of local interest and walking tours of historic places in the community. It has amassed a collection of texts, photographs and memorabilia and maintains a Museum Board at the local branch of Carnegie Library, with changing exhibits about Squirrel Hill”s history. Its website, squirrelhillhistory.org, presents historical information about the neighborhood, information about speakers and topics, and a link to the SHHS presentations, which are posted on YouTube. Membership in SHHS is growing as more people come to share its enthusiasm for the history of their vibrant neighborhood.
