The Steelworks Museum of Industry and Culture will eventually be housed in the beautiful mission style building that served as the headquarters for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation in Pueblo, CO. The Bessemer Historical Society purchased this building along with three others and is currently working to preserve and remodel the buildings. The main building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 2002, and in on October 14, 2008 the site was raised to the National Level of Significance.

Because the restoration of the main building will be a long and involved process, Phase I of the museum is open in the Historic 1901 Medical Dispensary Building sponsored by St. Mary Corwin Medical Center, next door to the old main building.

The Steelworks Museum of Industry and Culture features exhibits related to all facets of the CF&I, including but not limited to history of mining, labor history, history of steel production, railroad history, and history of Pueblo and Colorado and the CF&I's impact on the region. The Main Exhibit Hall is sponsored by the Pueblo Rotary Club Number 43.
