Join the Three Rivers Archivists on Thursday, August 17 to tour the Archives of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden. Since 1869, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden have been a part of the history of Western Pennsylvania and beyond. Come and learn about what this special collection archives is all about and how the contributions of nuns are often a forgotten piece of the study of women’s history. The St. Joseph Convent sits on a 94-acre campus, complete with community gardens, an apiary, chickens, and a cemetery.
Directions: are available from this website: http://www.stjoseph-baden.org/directions/
Parking: Use the entrance that is marked Sisters of St. Joseph/Mt. Gallitzin/Baden Academy Charter School and use the Visitor Parking Lot there – first entrance on the right if you are following the directions on the website. (Note: Please be aware that there are two other entrances to the property. Those entrances are for the Villa St. Joseph, which is a 120-bed nursing facility/rehab center.)
We will meet in the Vistor Parking Lot at 6:00pm – the program will start outside and end inside.
