The History of Pittsburgh Through a Ketchup Bottle

Oct 11, 2024 - Oct 11, 2024 | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Heinz History Center
1212 Smallman St
Pittsburgh, PA 15222

In many ways, the Heinz ketchup bottle is a symbol of Pittsburgh that can be used to tell our city’s rich and multifaceted history.

Celebrate H.J. Heinz’s 180th birthday with us as History Center educator Lloyd Black metaphorically breaks down the iconic Heinz ketchup bottle into its parts – glass, tomatoes, labels, and more – to tell Pittsburgh’s story.

Examine historic bottles, learn some quirky Heinz facts, and stay until the end for a ketchup tasting!
