Historic Bethlehem Partnership is honored to be an Affiliate Member of the Smithsonian Institution.
Colonial Industrial Quarter
Colonial Moravian technological ingenuity created America’s first industrial park on this site. Opening the doors of these restored buildings reveal how waterpower and humanpower combined to make work easier 260 years ago. Animal hides became leather in the 1761 Tannery while the 1762 Waterworks, now a National Landmark, housed early America’s first pumped town water system. The 1869 Luckenbach Mill ground grain into flour until 1949 and today houses the administrative offices of the Historic Bethlehem Partnership. The reconstructed 1750/1761 Smithy with its anvils, forges, and bellows was the worksite for the men who worked in iron-the blacksmith, locksmith, and nailsmith. Be amazed just like John Adams and George Washington were!
