Screening Bethlehem Steel: The People Who Built America

Relive the legacy of Bethlehem Steel from the people who created it.

Bethlehem Steel. You’ll find it in the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge, the stately U.S. Supreme Court building, New York City’s legendary skyline and the vivid memories of thousands of steelworkers. PBS39's Bethlehem Steel: The People Who Built America chronicles more than 140 years of this once colossal company’s rich history as seen through the eyes of those who made steel. Bethlehem Steel.

Steel Weekend is the National Museum of Industrial History's annual celebration of Bethlehem's steel-making heritage, featuring live demonstrations, steelworkers' reunions, guest speakers, and exhibits on the industry's past and its impact.

This year’s annual celebration of all things steel will pay special tribute to America’s Veterans.

The weekend will include a panel discussion with Veterans who worked in the Bethlehem Plant, guided walking and bus tours, a steelworkers’ reunion session, special exhibits, music, film screenings, lectures, iron and steel demonstrations, and an iron pour. Museum admission is free on Saturday and Sunday. Select programs require additional cost.
