Just below Main Street is the old Bethlehem. A nice trail meanders along the river and showcases all the different industrial businesses that once made Bethlehem an industrial powerhouse. Packed into about a half-mile stretch is a wealth of American history. You can easily spend a few hours exploring the grounds, and it's all FREE!

Hoover Mason Trestle

Reviewed By Flyer818550 - Washington DC, United States

My wife and I spent a wonderful weekend in Bethlehem and the Hoover Mason Trestle was a highlight. The walking tour is self-guided with excellent signage detailing the rise, dominance and downfall of Bethlehem Steel. I've always heard of Bethlehem Steel but never understand its place in the American business landscape until this trip.
