About Saxonburg Museum

The Saxonburg Museum sits in Roebling Park and covers the people and heritage of the Saxonburg area. Its exhibits honor the Roebling family, including engineering materials and documents tied to John Augustus Roebling's wire rope work, and a sample of his cable is on display. Next to the museum stands an old workshop where Roebling did his design work. Other displays cover the nearby KDKA radio transmitter site, a schoolroom, a military display, and scenes of local trades, farming, oil work, and household life. The museum currently admits visitors by scheduled tour only, and it closes during the winter months to protect its artifacts.
