Well worth a visit for some pictures taking opportunities. This remainder of past works is beautiful at many different times of the day. I caught it close to sunset which was great. It's a nice little walk around too if you need to stretch your legs. Give yourself about 45mins to an hour to take in everything. Enjoy!
Great venue for events! Plenty of space for parking and you can even walk around an elevated platform to see the old Steel Stacks up close. There's even an elevator for accessibility. There are community maintained gardens great photo ops and even informational panels around the Stacks explaining some of the history. Restrooms are centrally located, clean, indoors and plenty of stalls. Vending machines can also be found here. We enjoyed the Cars and Coffee car show event. Highly recommend a trip here for any of the fun events. We'll definitely be back.
Words can not express how much we need to preserve the story of poor immigrants who came to America around 120 years ago and built America working 16 hour shifts 6 days a week for very little pay. There is a museum, walking trail, park and casino on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel Mill. Parts of the old mill are incredibly preserved, you can walk right up to it on the walkways. On a side note there are some beautiful historic church’s in south Bethlehem.
This place is absolutely gorgeous! The old factory looks like the abandoned naval ship on the ship graveyard or like the ancient monster who died and turned into the monument. From the first sight I decided to call it Leviathan of Bethlehem. Besides that the place is free, pet and kid friendly!
The immensity of the Bethlehem Steel mill is mind-blowing. I had no idea it ran 24/7/365 days a year for decades. Happy to see the town's efforts to reclaim the area for community events. The educational signs posted on the Hoover Mason Trestle elevated walkway provided some insight into the mill's history and its workers. Seeing the vultures hanging out and the thriving native trees wild and planted were highlights.
Stunning nighttime lights and a really interesting experience overall. You basically walk along a cat walk of the old steel plant and explore at your leisure. You can pier inside the buildings but you can’t wander into far due to the railing. At night they light them up in various colors and across the street there is a live music venue with stages outside. When the sun is setting it has a majestic quality on these dystopian steel stacks.
Plenty of events happening throughout summer. Lots of small plate places for a quick bite. Would’ve been nice if there was an access to the inside of abandoned industry.
I recently photographed a wedding here and I can't get over how amazing the staff was for the couple! It's such an iconic venue for the Bethlehem area. Musikfest cafe is perfect for your reception! Being able to look at the stacks lit up at night from the dance floor is pretty incredible too!
Such unique use of the abandoned steel mill. Definitely will get you in the holiday spirit visiting the Chriskindlemart. I would advise going later afternoon or evening. It was packed when we got there at around 1:00. We could barely stop and look at anything. By around 4:00 it was much nicer.
A fun and quick historic walk - a perfect illustration of how to preserve history and reinvest in a neighborhood. I went for the Christmas market and stumbled upon this great little tour that really captured the importance and difficulties of the time.
