Colonial Industrial Quarter

Located at the Northeast corner of Main and Church Streets
in downtown Bethlehem
(610) 691 - 6055

Early Bethlehem was home to an outstanding concentration of manufacturing trades. Some of the buildings that housed these trades are still standing in the Colonial Industrial Quarter, including the 1762 Water Works, site of America's first pumped town water system and now a National Historic Landmark. The 1761 Tannery, 1869 Luckenbach Mill, and Miller's House also remain, along with the ruins of other early manufacturing buildings along the Monocacy Creek.

Visits to the Colonial Industrial Quarter are self guided and available year round from dawn to dusk. Please contact the Visitor Center to book a guided group tour or for more information.
