The National Museum of Industrial History is in Bethlehem, PA on the SteelStacks campus on the former Bethlehem Steel site. The museum houses over two hundred artifacts from across the world, telling the tale of America’s industrial might and the evolution of industry over time. The museum’s mission is to preserve the past, inspire the future, and fuel dynamic exhibits, educational programs, and youth initiatives.

The museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution which seeks to preserve, educate, and display the industrial history of the nation. The main gallery, featuring twenty-one artifacts on loan from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, includes massive machinery and amazing history, such as a 115-ton Corliss steam engine, a 20-foot-tall steam hammer, and what the life of a factory worker was like in the early 1900s.
