The energy at the ribbon cutting was electric, bringing together community leaders, partners, and visitors to mark this exciting new chapter for our city.

Arts Landing, a project of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is more than just a new civic space, it’s a vibrant gateway for unforgettable experiences, connection, and growth in our region. We can’t wait to welcome groups and showcase everything this amazing addition to the Cultural District has to offer.

Visit Pittsburgh's Amber Harkleroad and David Stephens of Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh University-Oakland, Hampton Inn by Hilton Greensburg, PA and Hampton Inn Johnstown, PA had a fantastic day exploring one of Visit Lawrence County’s true hidden gems the Historic Warner Cascade Theatre Museum at The Riverplex!

Located in downtown New Castle, this incredible site marks the birthplace of the Warner Brothers first theater, opened in 1907—where a global film empire first began. Today, it stands as a unique museum celebrating early cinema and American film history, right in the heart of Lawrence County.

Groups love stepping back in time, learning the story behind the Warner family, and experiencing a piece of cinematic history right where it all started!

Another great monthly meeting in the books at the stunning Scottish Rite Cathedral!

Located in New Castle, the heart of Visit Lawrence County, this historic landmark continues to bring our group together in a truly unforgettable setting. Built in the 1920s and once one of the largest venues between New York and Chicago, the Cathedral features breathtaking architecture and a grand auditorium that still hosts events and gatherings today.

We’re grateful for another successful meeting filled with collaboration, connection, and community—already looking forward to next month!
