State information:
Pittsburgh features a skyline of 151 skyscrapers, 446 bridges,
and two inclined railways, and is commonly known as "The city of Bridges". The growth of Pittsburgh and its economy was caused by the
extensive trade of steel. Since, Pittsburgh has adapted to the collapse of the region's steel industry. The primary industries have
shifted more to high technology. A small brick building called the Blockhouse?actually an outbuilding known as a redoubt?remains in
Point State Park, the only intact remnant of Fort Pitt. It was erected in 1764, and is believed to be the oldest building, not only
in Pittsburgh, but in eastern Pennsylvania.
The Andy Warhol Museum is the largest museum in the world dedicated to one artist. The museum's collection includes over 4,000 Warhol
art works in all mediums. While dedicated to Andy Warhol, the museum also hosts many exhibits by artists who push the boundaries of art,
just as Warhol did. The Carnegie Museum of Natural History has one of the finest dinosaur collections in the world. When Andrew Carnegie
envisioned a museum collection consisting of the "Old Masters of tomorrow", the Carnegie Museum of Art became, arguably, the first museum
of modern art in the United States, founded in 1895. the Carnegie Science Center is the most visited museum in Pittsburgh.

stop on the Railroad, marking its place in history from 1825 to 1835. It is now a museum.
