Experience the warmth and charm of life as it was lived by a small-town doctor.  Dr. Thomas R. Kerr, his wife Jessie, and daughter Virginia lived in their gracious home in Oakmont, a quaint town outside of Pittsburgh that provided an escape from the often harsh conditions of life in the city. The museum portrays middle-class family life in the late nineteenth century. This period was marked by the extremes of fabulous wealth and grinding poverty, which overshadowed the emerging middle class.

FEATURED EXHIBIT
​
A Visit from Santa Claus
November 8th - January 4th, 2025
​

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Here at the Kerr Museum, we are heading into the holiday season and preparing to deck the halls with Victorian appropriate décor. The Kerr elves are planning day and candlelight tours for their guests and this year’s tour will feature Santa Claus. While we all understand the allure of modern Santa Claus and the magic he delivers, there is so much history behind his current popularity. The Kerr Museum will be beautifully adorned to celebrate the season and the tours will highlight how Santa Claus came to be such an important facet of holiday life.
