Parking: You can park in one of these four parking lots within walking distance to the History Center:
- 11th and Smallman Street Lot (usually has a discounted rate for visitors to the History Center as long as there are no special events)
- Convention Center Garage
- Grant Street Transportation Center Garage
- 13th and Smallman Street Lot
Limited on-street parking surrounding the museum is also available. Please note: these lots are not owned by the Heinz History Center and the cost of parking varies based on demand and special events. Allow enough time to park and walk to the museum!
Lunch: We may opt to walk up to the strip district (about a 10 minute walk) for some lunch at about 1 pm. Depending on the number going to lunch, we will probably go to the Novo Asian Food Hall or PA Market since it is straight up Smallman St. and we can all have separate checks.
