This was posted today in a FB group that posts photos of Pgh and surrounding areas. looks like the house has been spruced up since last I saw it. But there is something missing and I can’t remember what...

Dorothy is an Apollo graduate ... interesting read - particularly the comments about the 1936 flood!

Exploring The Little Niches Around Our Museum While we tend to have a main theme each year in the museum, there are little niches of special displays that may get overlooked. Here are a few that you may enjoy... if you want to see them in color you have to come visit! This little gumball machine is a great favorite of the children visiting the museum. It’s an old converted payphone that exchanges sweets for pennies!

NPR has a news story out today about Nellie Bly. BIG mention of Apollo, PA. :) EDIT: Here is the link from WESA in Pittsburgh, who I think actually originated ...the story as a local interest piece. There is a virtual program about Nellie from the Heinz History Center. The link to the program is in the news story. :) https://www.wesa.fm//journalist-nellie-blys-life-and-legac
