Join us for free museum admission

Visit the museum on April 21st during Family Sunday and join us for a drop-in style family program to engage in S.T.E.A.M. concepts like building, engineering, and strategic thinking. During Family Sundays, all youth 12 and under receive free admission when accompanied by a paying adult. Adult admission is $15.

This month's theme is "Tiny Tug"! Learn about our restored Bethlehem Steel tow tractor and star of the children's book series "Tug Tales". Take home your own tiny flat version to photograph as you go out and explore the world. 

The National Museum of Industrial History is excited to offer a hands-on train engineer experience on its restored narrow gauge locomotive!

On April 22, 1970, twenty million Americans gathered across the country to demonstrate against the environmental and health impacts of over a century of industrial development. The movement inspired OSHA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, Environmental Education Act, and a new way of thinking about living within our landscape. Learn more about the origins of Earth Day and the present realities facing the planet.

Presented by Donna Acerra and Dierdre Hannan on April 21, 2024 at 1pm in the Barnette Education Center at the National Museum of Industrial History.
