Overview
Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from April through December, former steelworkers or guides trained by steelworkers will lead sidewalk and Hoover-Mason Trestle tours through the Bethlehem Steel plant site. The tours start on Thursday and Friday at 11:00am and Saturday and Sunday at 11:00am and 1:30pm rain or shine and leave from the plaza outside NMIH.
The steelworker guides will take guests on a multi-faceted journey – from the evolution of iron making in the Lehigh Valley to the history of the Bethlehem Plant from its opening to closing, including its importance in World Wars I and II. Along the way, guests will learn about the remaining buildings on the plant site, life in the ethnic neighborhoods surrounding the plant, and what life was like working at the plant. The 1+ hour tour concludes with a Q&A session.
Tickets can be purchased online or in-person at the National Museum of Industrial History admissions desk.
