To Do This Weekend

(Events)

The McKeesport Heritage Center opens its summer speaker series this weekend with local historian Frank Kordalski, author of the new book Images of America: Plum Borough.

One of Allegheny County's seven original communities, Plum Township was founded in 1788. In the early 19th century, the township became an agricultural community, and by the mid-20th century, was developing into a bedroom suburb for Pittsburgh. The township became a borough in 1956.

Kordalski, of White Oak, is the archivist for the Allegheny Foothills Historical Society in Plum and has served on the organization's board of directors. His book is part of Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series.

The discussion begins at 2 p.m. Saturday and copies of the book will be available for sale. Admission is free. The center is located at 1832 Arboretum Drive in Renziehausen Park. For more information, call (412) 678-1832 or visit the website.
