My wife and I spent a wonderful weekend in Bethlehem and the Hoover Mason Trestle was a highlight. The walking tour is self-guided with excellent signage detailing the rise, dominance and downfall of Bethlehem Steel. I've always heard of Bethlehem Steel but never understand its place in the American business landscape until this trip.
