To visit the site, enter at the Feast Hall, 1401 Church St. Ambridge, PA 15003. Friends of Old Economy Village members and Ambridge Resident Pass holders must present their card at the Admissions.
Guests may park at the Visitor Center and walk or drive 2 blocks to begin their visit to the historic site at the Feast Hall on Church Street. The guest experience begins with a 13-minute orientation video. There are also exhibits to explore in the Feast Hall building. A portion of the site is guided by a docent. There are typically two half hour guided tours unless a special event is taking place. One guided tour features the Rapp Houses (every half hour 10:45-3:15 except 12:45), and the other shows the buildings on the Cobblestone Street (every half hour 10:30-3:30 except 12:00). All else is self-guided. Visitors should allow approximately 2 hours to see everything.
We are more than happy to accommodate larger groups or special tour requests. We are currently accepting reservations for Wednesdays through Sundays. For more information please contact David Miller at (724) 266-4500 x 110.
