Did you know Pittsburgh’s pickle obsession started with a literal crowd-control emergency? 🚨 🥒

Back at the 1893 World’s Fair, H.J. Heinz’s booth was stuck on a lonely second floor. To get people’s attention, he dropped flyers promising a “free prize” if you visited his booth. That prize? The legendary tiny green pickle pin.

The stunt worked SO well that over 1 million people swarmed the booth, police had to be called, and the floors literally started to sag from the weight of the crowd! 🤯

Fast forward to today, and we are still shutting down bridges for Picklesburgh and drinking pickle beer.

Drop a 🥒 if you have a vintage Heinz pickle pin!

Wrapping up our week of celebrating International Women’s Month by remembering seven extraordinary Pittsburgh women, today we honor a woman whose name you may recognize if you’ve ever driven to one our tours by taking the Rachel Carson Bridge!

A marine biologist and nature writer, Rachel Carson catalyzed the global environmental movement with her 1962 book Silent Spring. Outlining the dangers of chemical pesticides, the book led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides and sparked the movement that ultimately led to the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Chemical companies sought to discredit her as a Communist or hysterical woman. Many pulled their ads from the CBS Reports TV special on April 3, 1963, entitled “The Silent Spring of Rachel Carson.” Still, roughly 15 million viewers tuned in, and that, combined with President John F. Kennedy’s Science Advisory Committee Report—which validated Carson’s research—made pesticides a major public issue. Carson received medals from the National Audubon Society and the American Geographical Society, and induction into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Today is our sixth day of honoring extraordinary Pittsburgh women, and we are focusing on Impressionist artist Mary Cassatt!

Edgar Degas asked Mary Cassatt, a suffragist from Pittsburgh, to join the “Impressionists” in 1877. At that time, this group of artists included a few other well-known names: Claude Monet, Camille Pisarro, Auguste Renoir, and Berthe Morisot. Cassatt was the first woman and first and only American artist to be acknowledged as an equal by what soon became the foremost group of artists in the world. Cassatt’s most famous work was ‘Little Girl in a Blue Armchair,’ which represented her triumphant arrival into the Impressionist movement.
