The American Spirit: An Evening with David McCullough

Join the Heinz History Center for a special evening event with America’s favorite historian and Pittsburgh native David McCullough. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author will join History Center President and CEO Andy Masich for a discussion about what makes us Americans, as told in McCullough’s newest book, “The American Spirit: Who We Are and What We Stand For.” McCullough earned Pulitzer Prizes for his books “Truman” and “John Adams” and is one of the founders of the History Center, providing inspirational leadership during the museum’s relocation from Oakland to the Strip District in 1996. He is a recipient of the History Makers Award and served as the keynote speaker for the Pittsburgh 250 History Makers Gala in 2008. In 2013, Allegheny County and the History Center officially renamed the 16th Street Bridge in honor of McCullough.

Tickets are $40 for regular visitors and $20 for History Center members and include access to all History Center exhibitions (from 6-7 p.m.). Tickets to the event can be purchased online at Showclix.com or by calling 1-888-718-4253.

McCullough’s “The American Spirit” book will be available for purchase at the History Center Museum Shop (the book is not included with event admission)
