Once the pinnacle of American steel dominance and manufacturing leadership, Bethlehem Steel Corporation operated for over a century before closing in 2003. Headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, this industrial titan was one of the world’s largest steel producers at its peak, a symbol of 20th century U.S. innovation.

Bethlehem Steel was once the second-largest steel manufacturer in the U.S. and a major shipbuilder and powered the skyscraper boom with its high-grade steel. The company went bankrupt in 2001 due to shifts in construction methods. Today, a casino owns the property, and the National Museum of Industrial History occupies several buildings. Visitors can also explore the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, a vibrant venue hosting films, concerts, and art events.
