  This is a very small museum located at the sight of Braddock's defeat, a key battle in the French and Indian War (Seven Years War between France and England). It was also an important battle in the life of George Washington and had an influence in the American Revolution. There is a very knowledgeable guide that explains the history and the artifacts. If you are interested in history, this is worth about a one hour stop. I think that it is important to call ahead to make sure that the guide is giving tours. Even though the exhibits are labeled I don't think that this museum would be worthwhile without the guide. Note that the museum is located at the battle sight which is now a run down suburb of Pittsburgh, not in a nice park-like atmosphere like Ft Pitt, Ft Necessity, or Gettysburg. Even though this is only a brief stop in very unlikely place, I found it educational.
