Join us each Sunday at the Museum where youth 12 and under receive free admission when accompanied by an adult. On the Third Sunday of each month, drop in from 11-3 to participate in a hands-on activity during S.T.E.A.M. Adventures.

This summer, high school students from the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School will embark on a 3-day experience exploring the industrial legacy of the Lehigh Valley! The students will be visiting several educational institutions, including the National Museum of Industrial History to learn about how past innovations shape today’s engineering. This experience will culminate with a student service project at the National Museum of Industrial History. On Thursday June 26th from 10:00am-12:00pm, the PA Cyber students will facilitate hands-on activities with museum guests, sharing what they’ve learned throughout the week and engaging with visitors. This program is included with the price of museum admission.

The National Museum of Industrial History is proud to work with the Reading & Northern Railroad to host a day-long rare mileage train ride on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. The trip will depart from Reading Outer Station (3501 Pottsville Pike, Reading, PA 19605), at 9 AM, with guests riding aboard a pair of open window Budd RDCs (self-propelled Rail Diesel Cars).
