I love going to museums..I took my grandson for free day .. I learned so much about the history of the CF and I and Pueblo and surrounding counties.. you learn so much and you can feel so much history and everything you see.. it's only $6 for adults and $4 for children and I recommend more people to check this out.
Dedicated staff that preserve the memories of generations of hard workers and the neighborhood. Hours of information!
Very very interesting true history of Pueblo and how this city "Steel City" was an integral part of the great Industrial Revolution in America
It brought back a laot of good memories as well as some of the bad. Strikes and layoffs were hard times. Victoria let me see Dads work record.
Thank you for this great photo. My grandfather started working in the blast furnace when he was 12 years old, opening the doors to the furnace. He retired at 65 as a car operator. He spent his entire career in the blast furnaces
This is a fascinating museum. If you want to understand Pueblo, this place will thoroughly explain it's roots. The curator was full of info and delightful. I will definitely go back.
