Pittsburgh History Series

Something About Oakland (1x14)

Air date: Jan 01, 2000

It all started when Mary Schenley donated land for a beautiful wooded park. Soon Andrew Carnegie built a great library and museums nearby. There was a grand hotel, a spectacular greenhouse, and a beloved old ballpark called Forbes Field. We visit the Bug Rooms, the murals and Music Hall at the Carnegie Museums. We race through Schenley Park, stop at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, and visit shops along Craig Street.The program is called Something About Oakland because it would be impossible to include everything about this amazing part of town.
