For nearly a century, southwestern Pennsylvania was the powerful hub of this modern industrial epic - one that propelled our nation to world leadership as an industrial giant.

Scranton, PA - Steamtown National Historic Site Home Page Official Site.
Steam locomotives excited the senses and Steamtown works to keep their stories alive!

Remember the sound of "chuff-chuff" from the smokestack? Today, you can learn the history of steam railroad transportation, and the people who built, repaired and rode, as we work to preserve a special era in America's industrial history!
