Homestead and Mifflin Township shows an era of days gone by through the medium of postcards. Mifflin Township was one of the seven original townships when Allegheny County was formed; and it covered the Monongahela River as well as the present-day communities of Clairton; Duquesne; Dravosburg; Hays; Homestead; Jefferson Hills; Lincoln Place; Munhall; Pleasant Hills; West Elizabeth; West Homestead; West Mifflin; and Whitaker. The original Mifflin Township ran along the Monongahela River from Hays (Six Mile Ferry) to present-day West Elizabeth. The area began as a quiet farming community in the 1850s but had become a great industrial steel giant by the dawn of the 20th century. Local steel mills produced vast quantities of rail; structural steel; and armaments for both world wars. This collection shows Homestead and Mifflin Township�s industrial achievements; architecture; and places of entertainment.

I couldnt remember the name of the school where I went to kindergarten and it was in there (Mooney School). It is on the same page as my elementary school. Parkland. where I attended 1st. 2nd. and 3rd grades in the same room. I recommend the book to anyone who grew up in Clawson. Michigan.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
