Our expert guides know and love the Pittsburgh, PA region. They will help you see significant places in three dimensions: each with a rich past, present, and future—that’s our goal! The Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF), was founded in 1964 by a group of citizens who passionately believed that historic preservation, rather than massive demolition, could be a tool for renewing communities, creating pride among residents, and achieving sustainable economic development. OUR MISSION STATEMENT: Recognized as one of the nation’s most innovative and effective nonprofit historic preservation organizations, PHLF works to identify and save historically significant places; renew historic neighborhoods, towns, and urban areas; preserve historic farms and historic designed landscapes; and educate people about the Pittsburgh region’s rich architectural heritage.
