Soldiers & Sailors is the largest memorial in the United States dedicated solely to America's military personnel, representing all branches of service, including active, guard and reserve members. Our mission is to preserve a lasting tribute to those men and women of Pennsylvania who unselfishly gave of themselves in serving their country during the American wars through the preservation of the historical museum and memorial. Our educational outreach and veteran service programs promote the significance of the facility to the community as a living memorial, an educational asset and cultural treasure. Conceived by the Allegheny County Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic, Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall opened its doors in October 1910. The year 2000 brought about a rebirth to this aged structure when its trustees took it to nonprofit status. Today, we continue to improve, enhance and create a sustainability program helping us carry our mission into the future.
