One of the main goals of the project was to determine which sites and structures in the township have historic value, as opposed to being labeled as old. The work was funded by a Keystone Historic Preservation Grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.

Historic Preservation Plan Moon Township’s Historic Architectural Review Board and Community Development Department have been working with professional consultants over the past year to complete a Historic Preservation Plan. The Society’s mission is to research and accumulate data, educate as well as promote and preserve what we can of our local historical heritage. As a significant example of war production housing and residential planning design, Moon Township declared the Mooncrest Neighborhood a local Historic District in 2005. Moon Township’s Mooncrest Neighborhood was developed in 1943 as a housing development for workers who contributed to war production efforts during World War II. Moon’s proximity to Pittsburgh and several of its suburbs ensures that nearly every type of business or service is just a short car ride away.
