Steel Plant Museum
560 Ridge Rd., Lackawanna Phone: +1 716 823-0630About
Lackawanna, the industrial city immediately south of Buffalo, was home to the largest steel plant in the world, which covered 1,600 acres (640ha) and employed 20,000 workers at its height. Established in 1984, the Steel Plant Museum tells the story of the Lackawanna Steel Plant and its workforce, as well as other area steel companies such as Republic Steel and Hanna Furnace, by displaying memorabilia such as union records, safety gear, signs, tools, steel specimens, and technical literature both at the museum's main location on the premises of the historic Lackawanna Public Library, and at the satellite location two blocks away. A café is also located on site serving coffee and light refreshments. Free.
