context_page_description: Park Avenue, located in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, is a street of both historical and cultural relevancy. Several notable figures as well as the Meeting at Whiskey Point have come from this noteworthy location in the small Pittsburgh suburb.
  In 2008, a 90-minute documentary about Park Avenue's notable residents, titled One Extraordinary Street was released by Laura M. Magone. The documentary discusses successful people who were once residents on the street.
context_section_description: On 14 August, during the Whiskey Rebellion, a convention of 226 whiskey rebels from the six counties was held at Parkison's Ferry (now known as Whiskey Point), present-day Monongahela. The convention considered resolutions, which were drafted by Hugh Henry Brackenridge, Albert Gallatin, David Bradford, and an eccentric preacher named Herman Husband, a delegate from Bedford County. Husband, a well-known local figure, was a radical champion of democracy who had taken part in the Regulator movement in North Carolina 25 years earlier. The Parkison's Ferry convention also appointed a committee to meet with the peace commissioners who had been sent west by President Washington. There, Gallatin presented an eloquent speech in favor of peace and against proposals from Bradford to further revolt.
