Bet you didn't know that it wasn't a Southerner but rather a Pittsburgher, Stephen Foster (1826-1864), who composed the well-known folk songs "O Susanna," "Camptown Races" (of Blazing Saddles fame), and "My Old Kentucky Home." On Forbes Avenue, across from the Cathedral of Learning, visit the Stephen Foster Memorial with Foster's original compositions, instruments, as well as other Foster-related documents and souvenirs.
