The Westmoreland Trust

The Westmoreland Trust, a non-profit corporation, has a proven track record of success in providing an enriched quality of life to the community it serves. You may not know us by the Westmoreland Trust name, but you may know us by The Palace Theatre, The Train Station at Greensburg, and the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center.

The Westmoreland Trust, in partnership with city, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as supportive community members, is developing Westmoreland County as a historic, cultural, and entertainment district. Its endeavors are instrumental in making the region attractive to work, live, and raise a family.

What is The Westmoreland Trust? By definition, the Westmoreland Trust is a (501)(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose mission is to take a leadership role in the development and enhancement of the cultural life and economic well-being of the Westmoreland region.

But the Trust is much more than that. It is an Organization in which the community can place its confidence. It has been entrusted to care for community assets in the interest of the residents of the Westmoreland region. It is an Organization with an extraordinary track record that is committed to its mission.

The Westmoreland Trust has transformed the Palace Theatre from a lusterless candidate for demolition to a vibrant, sparkling asset in the community. The Train Station at Greensburg has been transformed from a repulsive eyesore into a shining example of a reclaimed landmark. The Greensburg Garden and Civic Center remains a premier meeting facility that truly serves the entire Westmoreland region.

Museums or Landmarks

In the late 19th century, the economic boom created by coal and Greensburg's growing importance as a retail and industrial center convinced the Pennsylvania Railroad to build its Train Station in Greensburg. The railroad commissioned architect William Cookman to design the new station.
The Greensburg Garden and Civic Center was built by philanthropist Katherine Mabis McKenna and donated to the City of Greensburg in 1969 as a memorial to her son, Mennel M. Smith.
