OUTDOOR EVENT, WEATHER PERMITTING

Test your aim at the Fort Pitt Museum’s Tomahawk Toss on July 2 and 3, starting at 1 p.m.

In 18th-century America, both American Indians and European settlers carried tomahawks to use as tools and weapons. Now, visitors to the Fort Pitt Museum can sharpen their throwing skills at the museum’s outdoor Tomahawk Toss range. Participants will get a crash course in the history of tomahawks before learning safety procedures and throwing techniques.

The Tomahawk Toss will be offered from 1-4 p.m. May 21-22, June 18, and on Saturdays and Sundays (weather permitting) through the end of July.

Cost is $5 for five minutes of throwing. All participants will receive discounted museum admission.
