Sloss Furnace Tour
Tour the site to learn about the raw ingredients, how the furnace worked, the importance of Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham’s iron and steel industry and what it was like to be a worker during production.
Sloss is currently the only twentieth- century blast furnace in the United States being preserved and interpreted as an historical industrial site. The dramatic scale and complexity of the plant’s industrial structure, machines and tools make the Sloss collection a unique contribution to the interpretation of twentieth century ironmaking technology and presents a remarkable perspective on the era when America grew to world industrial dominance. At the same time, Sloss is an important reminder of the hopes and struggles of the people who worked in the industries that made some men wealthy and Birmingham, the “Magic City.”
Going on a Sloss Furnace Tour sounds like something I would like.
Can I get some more info on this?
