What an amazing place to visit. Nice and helpful employees. A piece of American history that shows hard work of American workers, genius engineers input, hard work of Joseph Wharton and other managers had been paid off by being a 3rd largest American corporates. It also gives lessons than even the biggest, fall down if they don’t update themselves with new technology, new market and if they don’t plan for future properly. It is a must visit for engineers, kids, corporate employees and people are in heavy industry.

A wonderful museum. Its not huge but it packs a lot in and will keep your attention. Its a museum is steeped in the history of Bethlehem Steel and the Lehigh Valley but still manages to make it universal to industry all over America. I look forward to future visits and the eventual expansion of the museum. The docent on for the day (1-10-21, I think his name was John aka Haystacks) was amazing. He had firsthand knowledge of Bethlehem Steel in its working days and could answer literally every question we had thoroughly and in a way easy to understand. My rather shy son even felt comfortable enough to ask a question and he answered it perfectly for his age, even pulling out his phone to show pictures.
My guide, Kathy, made sure that I had a complete education in all facets of the museum. It's not only concerning the steel industry but also others, such as silk weaving and propane extraction. The unsung efforts of women throughout the various eras are spotlighted and recognized for their many contributions. The exhibits begin with examples taken from the first American world's fair, the Centennial Exposition of 1876. Gigantic machineries and complex models also dot the educational trail through the museum. Recommended.
Good little museum in old Bethlehem Steel industrial complex. The museum has four distinctive areas: the centennial industrial 1876 exhibition showing the industrial strength of a young emerging nation, the steel age of Bethlehem steel, the Silk Mill era of the Lehigh Valley, and last the impact of propane to the business and life in the area. The exhibits are compact and small. One can cover the entire floor in about an hour. The staff was friendly and helpful. Due to its size, the staff would patiently answer questions. The admission price is a bit high for the size of the museum. Most items in the gift shop are on the high side.
Stopped bye to see if the newly relocated veterans memorial outside. Very nice.
