The Greater Monessen Historical Society presents this exhibit honoring the town's veterans featuring photographs, uniforms, medals and military memorabilia from all branches covering the Civil War through the Iraq Conflict.

Named after a German city, Monessen is a small town in rural Westmoreland County that was once a steel-making center with more than 20,000 people.
