Experience a slice of quirky American history with our "Where is Wampum?" t-shirt, celebrating one of Pennsylvania's most unusually named towns. Founded in 1796 along the Beaver River, Wampum earned its distinctive name from the Native American word for shell beads used as currency – though ironically, no wampum shells were ever found in the area.
This conversation-starting design pays homage to the small railroad town that became a crucial limestone mining hub in the late 1800s, connecting Pittsburgh's steel industry with the raw materials it needed to thrive. While the town's population peaked during the industrial boom, today it remains a cherished piece of Pennsylvania's rich heritage, with fewer than 1,000 residents keeping its unique story alive.
Our vintage-inspired design features a deliberately aged, distressed finish that captures the weathered charm of classic tourist trading posts and roadside attractions. Printed on a premium Gildan 5000 heavy cotton tee, this shirt combines historical charm with modern comfort in its 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton construction.
Features:
- Classic unisex fit
- Available in sizes S-5XL
- Multiple color options
- Direct-to-garment printing for vibrant, long-lasting results
- Tear-away label for maximum comfort
- Single-sided print (front only)
Perfect for Pennsylvania history enthusiasts, road trip adventurers, or anyone who appreciates the charm of America's uniquely named places. Each shirt is custom printed using state-of-the-art DTG technology, ensuring crisp, detailed reproduction of this conversation-starting piece of Pennsylvania lore.
