As one of the most historic and culturally rich cities in the country, Pittsburgh offers many interesting things for visitors to do. Founded in the mid-18th century, it is known as one of the 1st producers of iron and steel in the US. The three rivers in the city also made the local trade and export industry flourish easily. Today, it is primarily popular for being the hometown of Andy Warhol. You will find the seven-story Andy Warhol Museum here. Nonetheless, the city also has scenic outdoors. Point State Park, a historic landmark where three rivers converge, is famous for its breathtaking views.
