Celebrate the legacy of America’s workers, innovators, and entrepreneurs by providing the tools to educate and inspire tomorrow’s inventors and achievers. The National Museum of Industrial History’s location, collection, and programs provide an unparalleled opportunity for exploring American industry and the people, ideas, and machines that spark progress.

Expansion to the Museum’s previously undeveloped 17,000 square foot second floor will double exhibit space and add much-needed collections workspace and flexible event space. Presenting our premiere artifact and archival collections across a wider array of industrial themes through amplified exhibits, programs, and events elevates visibility for the Museum and the Lehigh Valley region as a cradle of industry and a desirable destination for today’s innovators, residents and tourists alike.

Join us in our Capital Campaign “Next Level—Raising Industrial History to New Heights” to present an expanded place for learning, exploration, and celebrating American ingenuity. Your contribution ensures the growth and sustainability of NMIH and its future facing mission.
