The Westmoreland Historical Society (WHS) is seeking nominations from throughout Westmoreland County for the 2019 Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Award. This award is presented annually to those individuals, organizations, businesses, or educational institutions that have made a significant and sustainable contribution to the preservation of our historic places, documents, records, or stories, and by doing so, are keeping alive Westmoreland County’s rich history and heritage for future generations.

Nomination forms are available on line at westmorelandhistory.org However, nominations will be accepted as long as they conform to the following format. Nominations should not exceed one page in length and must include the nominee’s name, address, and phone number; the nominator’s name, address, and phone number; and a concise and specific description of the nominee’s accomplishments that merit them this award. Nominations must be submitted to the WHS office by 5 p.m. August 15. Nominations are accepted via mail; personal delivery to WHS at 809 Forbes Trail Road, Greensburg, PA 15601; or email to history@westmorelandhistory.org.

The 2019 awards will be presented at the 20th annual Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Awards Dinner on Wednesday, October 23 at Rizzo’s Banquet Hall in Crabtree.

The award is named in honor of Arthur St. Clair, an important figure in the founding of Westmoreland County. When the cause of the American Revolution beckoned, Arthur St. Clair answered that call and rose to the rank of Major General in the Continental Army. After the war he served as the president of Congress under the Articles of Confederation and as the first governor of the Northwest Territory.
