The Mt. Lebanon Trading Post: A Community Partner since the World War II Era

The Mt. Lebanon Trading Post is a consignment shop run strictly by volunteers featuring clothes for the whole family, household items, toys, games, and unique items. There is some discrepancy about when the Mt. Lebanon Trading Post first opened. According to newspaper articles and records kept in scrapbooks at the shop, it could have opened as early as September 1943.

The idea for a store was suggested by Mt. Lebanon school district superintendent, HV Herlinger during World War II in response to concerns from some of the mothers in Mt. Lebanon about the wartime shortage of children’s clothing and rubber boots, Herlinger suggested there should be a place in the township where gently used clothing could be offered for exchange.

The end of World War II brought changes for the Trading Post. When the ladies learned that free space at the municipal building would no longer be available, they started to sell the items to meet expenses. Once those expenses were met, the ladies decided to donate their profits to local charities.

The Trading Post moved to the current location in 1985 and continued as a consignment shop while retaining the original vision and mission of providing service to the community.
