The Lawrenceville Historical Society is a non-profit organization located in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2001, the society's mission is to preserve and promote the history of Lawrenceville, a neighborhood in Pittsburgh that was once a separate town. Lawrenceville was founded in 1814 and has a rich history that includes industrialization, immigration, and urban renewal.

The Lawrenceville Historical Society maintains a museum and archives that showcase the history of the neighborhood through exhibits, artifacts, photographs, and documents. The society also hosts events, lectures, and walking tours that educate the public about Lawrenceville's history and culture.

One of the society's main projects is the restoration of the Allegheny Cemetery Chapel, a historic building that was built in 1849 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The society has raised funds for the restoration, which includes repairing the roof, windows, and masonry, and installing a new heating system.

The Lawrenceville Historical Society is run by a board of volunteers and is supported by membership dues, donations, and grants. The society is dedicated to preserving the history and character of Lawrenceville for future generations.

GAP: Red Waterfall in 2024 Demonstrating acid mine drainage The water here is acid and iron-rich, coming up to the surface from underground mines, staining the rocks rust-red. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of water pollution and the cause of the extensive stream degradation and environmental damage. Where did this mine water come from? The Ocean Coal Company, a subsidiary of Berwind-White Coal Company of Philadelphia, PA established several mines in this region including in 1900, Ocean No. 2. It is purported that drainage from Ocean No. 2 is the chief cause of the Red Waterfall. Why is it acidic and full of iron? Hundreds of millions of years ago, the massive Pittsburgh Coal Seam formed underneath parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio from ancient swamp plants. Sand, silts, shells, and other matter were deposited and made a rock seal over the carbon rich vegetation. This rock contained the mineral "pyrite", made of iron and sulfur. Cola mining exposes pyrite to oxygen and ground water causing the formation of sulfuric acid and a number of red, orange, and yellow compounds. AMD occurs when this mine water seeps, or in this sea, bursts out into streams. The yellow sulfur can be seen in the shale near coal seams.
