Experience Kits
We have partnered with the Heinz Center Affiliates Program and other Allegheny County libraries; we are offering FREE ADMISSION for up to two adults and six children (under 18) to a number of museums and historical sites around Pittsburgh.
Be on the lookout for additional virtual programs held throughout the summer with our experience kit partners.
Experience kits are passes that can be checked out for one week at a time and must be returned to the Northern Tier Library.
Current participating sites include:
Senator John Heinz History Center
As Pittsburgh’s “people museum,” the History Center preserves
and interprets the history of Western Pennsylvanians through six
floors of interactive exhibitions that feature iconic artifacts like
the TV set from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and the world’s
oldest jeep.
Fort Ligonier
Fort Ligonier is a British fortification from the French and Indian
War located in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, United States. The fort
served as a staging area for the Forbes Expedition of 1758.
Other sites this 2024 season include:

Be on the lookout for additional virtual programs held throughout the summer with our experience kit partners!
