Work at the Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum has been progressing at a rapid pace since spring arrived.  Our first major project was to construct a stormwater retention area at the front of the property, as required by our building plans, and to grade a rather ugly hillside behind the hot metal train.

The original sign that was placed above the main entrance to the Ohio Works office building.  It will be placed on display in a new brick setting back by the hot metal train.

Half of a 175 ton Pollock teeming ladle that will become part of a steel memorial being built in front of our building.  We added the Pollock insignia to replace one that normally would have been on this ladle.


There are usually people at the YSHM on Wednesday thru Saturday 10 am to 4 pm, although that is not guaranteed.  We are hosting our first "Steel Heritage Day" at the museum on June 8 from 10 am until 4 pm and invite anyone and everyone interested in steel history or who have worked in the industry to come out to view our progress as we build the museum.
