The first survey of Monessen’s historic sites was conducted by the Steel Industry Heritage Association in the 1980s. An additional, unofficial, survey was conducted by the Heritage Coalition in the 1990s. This list is incomplete and represents only sites for consideration.  If you have an artifact or building you consider historically significant, let us know. If you wish to be a part of a committee to further investigate this matter, let us know.
