Embark on the Bethlehem Audio Tour: Steel, Stories, and Streets of Time

Mossy stones and iron wheels lie beneath Bethlehem’s calm surface, echoing with secret struggles and wild invention. Beneath this peaceful Pennsylvania town, revolutions once sparked and scandal brewed in the shadow of factory smokestacks.

This self-guided audio tour weaves hidden stories through cobbled paths and industrial ruins, revealing dramas and mysteries that even locals overlook.

Why did a fiery confrontation at the Colonial Industrial Quarter nearly reshape the course of American labor history? What strange artifact lies sealed in the vaults of the National Museum of Industrial History? Who vanished from the Lewis David de Schweinitz Residence one autumn night, leaving behind only theories and whispers?

Follow winding walkways and riverside mills to unravel the forgotten, the odd, and the awe-inspiring. Let Bethlehem’s secrets pull you into a world of rebellion, innovation, and veiled intrigue.

Peel back the city’s quiet front — and begin the journey beneath the iron and stone.
