Explore Clayton, the only surviving Gilded Age mansion in Pittsburgh, as you traverse through a remarkable period in US history. Engage in a group interaction that unveils the tales of the Frick family and the populace of Pittsburgh, and examine how the remnants of the Gilded Age still impact our present.

Immerse yourself in the unique tour experience of Gilded, Not Golden, a prizewinner of the 2024 Leadership in History Award from the American Association for State and Local History.

Dive beneath the “gilded” facade of the 19th century to unearth its complex truths. Understand Pittsburgh’s role as an industrial titan through a dialogue about the enduring legacies of the Gilded Age.
