Having performed there countless times over the decades, I started as a rapt fan shortly after it opened. Patrons sit so close to the stage that one can see the second hands moving on the performers’ wristwatches. Artwork from the ages adorns the walls, the sound is crisp and clear without being overpowering. Genuinely homemade treats make breaks merrier. Dave Fry, the founder, is a genial host and wrote the pilot film on being a troubadour. Director Ramona Murray keeps many moving parts of the enterprise in sync. Performer love playing there, patrons love listening to the first-rate, varying music, and an evening at Godfrey’s is like a warm hug from an old friend.

We had a blast and escaped the Alchemy Lab!! The staff made the experience super fun, engaging, and immersive so it felt like we were really stuck in Miles Finch’s lab! Captured LV took all the necessary precautions for COVID-19 and we felt very safe. Would highly recommend doing an escape room here!!

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!

We pre-bought our tickets for this museum and the Kemerer. Saw this one first. Our guide was very informative and you could tell she loved the museum. She gave us history of the Moravian Church as well as showed us the trees that the Garden Club put together for Christmas. The theme was Designers to go along with the Pursonality display that has been in the Museums this year. We learned about the Putz as well as the Sister's house. A couple that was with us had done this tour in the fall and said it was worthwhile even without the Christmas trees.

National Museum of Industrial History
Reviewed By toddbessemer - Philadelphia, United States
Terrific museum in the old Electrical Machine Shop of the Bethlehem Steel works. Some incredibly well-preserved pieces of American industrial history, including an old Corliss machine that has been restored to working order and is run at special events. Knowledgeable and obliging staff, a number of whom volunteer their time. The museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian.
