BETHLEHEM, PA—Take a walk in the shoes of a steelworker, learn how the blast furnaces worked and discover the untold stories of Bethlehem Steel during “Steelwalkers,” the walking tours presented by the Steelworkers’ Archives at SteelStacks. Tours will take place Saturdays and Sundays April 7-Nov. 11, 11:30 a.m., with the exception of Oct. 20-21.
