This spring, travel 145 years back in time at the National Museum of Industrial History hosts 1876 World’s Fair Weekend, a celebration of engineering, industry, and culture.

Visitors can watch as a 115-ton steam engine comes to life, climb aboard a working Bethlehem Steel locomotive, or hear the melodies of the Antebellum Marine Band. ‘President Grant’ will recreate his historic speech opening the Centennial International Exhibition and engineers of all ages can try their hand at running an 1876 printing press while creating their own souvenir.
