Steelworkers’ Archives Walking Tours
Former steelworkers lead sidewalk and Hoover-Mason Trestle tours of the Bethlehem Steel plant site, departing from the National Museum of Industrial History.
Former steelworkers or guides trained by steelworkers lead sidewalk and Hoover-Mason Trestle tours of the Bethlehem Steel plant site in partnership with the National Museum of Industrial History. Tours depart from the NMIH lobby at 602 E. Second Street in Bethlehem, run rain or shine, last about an hour and conclude with a question-and-answer session. Guides cover the evolution of iron making in the Lehigh Valley, the Bethlehem Plant’s history and wartime role, the remaining buildings, nearby ethnic neighborhoods, and what life was like working at the plant.
