History

The museum is dedicated to historic preservation of railroad history, interpretation and presentation to the public. Operated by dedicated group of volunteers. We try to present a "hands-on" alternative learning experience to all visitors and are developing programs with local library and school districts to include periodic visits in curiculum. We are starting up a new restoration center at 330 D Street, ultimate plans include a rail park and operating line connecting with the HARP riverwalk project.

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.
