Once a steel mill giant, Pittsburgh is revamping its image. The Andy Warhol Museum is undergoing a multi-million-dollar expansion, while Arts Landing — a downtown city park with performance spaces — is set to open in the spring. It’s prime time to discover the city’s diverse cultural scene and the legacy of the Underground Railroad — a network of covert routes that provided escaped enslaved African Americans safe passage — creates a natural trail to follow. Start at the Strip District’s Heinz History Center, where the permanent From Slavery to Freedom exhibition tracks the city’s Black narratives through time. Continue to the Cultural District’s August Wilson African American Cultural Center, which champions Black talent. It’s named after 20th-century playwright August Wilson, who twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for chronicling the African American experience in the city. End your visit at the Hill District, a historically Black neighbourhood where he grew up. Here, the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre Company exclusively performs work by local writers, with shows taking place in the Carter Woodson Redwood Theater.
