“LADIES NIGHT” meets “A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM”
Thursday, May 7, 2026
LADIES NIGHT is back after an 18 year hiatus! In the final meeting of our 75th Anniversary year, we are hosting the ladies at a return to the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, PA. This will be a historical adventure on Bethlehem’s South side, starting with a guided walking tour of the Hoover Mason Trestle at the Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces. Following that we walk to the museum for a docent-led tour. We’ll get sneak peek at the new exhibit “Cheers to 250! Brewing in America,” and also a view of what the museum calls their “Next Level”, or the second floor display area. A complete vintage print shop has been set up, and we will see some new features, for textiles, like looms and a mule. Yes a real mule. You’ll have to see it. Parking is free in the big Steel Stacks lot. Dinner after the tour is at the Heights Athletic Club in the downstairs banquet room. After dinner there will be a presentation by Andria Zaia, NMIH CEO.
Who Should Attend? Management and Production personnel, history buffs, and feel free to bring along your spouse, girlfriend, mother (Mother’s Day is May 10), etc.
