FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Westmoreland Heritage?
Westmoreland Heritage is a county-wide partnership that serves as a network for Westmoreland County’s numerous historic and cultural organizations. We also have individual professionals who seek to spread the dual missions of Westmoreland Heritage to as many people as possible.
What are the dual missions?
The two missions of Westmoreland Heritage are:
- Educate county residents and visitors about our remarkable history and culture.
- Encourage tourism of those historic & cultural assets and events.
Westmoreland Heritage collaborates with all partners and GO Laurel Highlands to accomplish these missions.
What differentiates Westmoreland Heritage from other local organizations?
Besides being the only regularly scheduled gathering of leaders from the county’s historic and cultural organizations, Westmoreland Heritage also serves as a marketing tool for all partners. Westmoreland Heritage runs three active social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), manages regular partner meetings, hosts a monthly radio show & podcast, and so on. Westmoreland Heritage, summarized, works to promote the incredible work of our partners and encourage as many people as possible to physically visit those sites and events.
