From the 17th Century through the Revolutionary War, Virginia and Pennsylvania had overlapping claims on the territory of present-day Western Pennsylvania. The Fort Pitt Museum is continuing the exhibit "Pittsburgh, Virginia" to the end of 2021. The focus is on the "turbulent events of 1774, when the two colonies fought for control of Pittsburgh, while Lord Dunmore's War put the fate of the Ohio Country, and all of it's inhabitants at stake."
The exhibit uses 18th-century artifacts and period imagery, and includes the debut of a "carved powder horn....Likely made within days of the capture of Fort Duquesne" by General John Forbes, November 25th, 1758, and bears an extremely rare, firsthand depiction of Fort Duquesne, as it appeared at the time.
The following link will take you to the Museum's site, and a picture of said horn. Pittsburgh, Virginia | Fort Pitt Museum | Exhibits
If the link does not work, look up Fort Pitt Museum (it is operated by the Senator John Heinz History Center).
Should you have the opportunity to come to Pittsburgh, your love of history will be well satisfied. The Museum sits beside the historic Fort Pitt Blockhouse, and is a short walk from the Heinz History Center, within minutes of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall (the first and largest of its kind in the Country), and within an hour or so drive of Fort Ligonier, Fort Necessity, Jumonville Glen, Braddock's Defeat, and Avella - site of the Meadowcroft Rockshelter, that was used as far back as 16,000 years ago by native foragers. Really, too much to list; I've been here 77 years, and I haven't seen it all!
