Historic Bethlehem USA Postcard

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, famously known as the 'Christmas City,' is a historic town deeply rooted in American industrial and colonial history. Founded by Moravian missionaries in 1741, the town preserves its unique heritage through beautifully maintained stone architecture, including the Moravian Museum and the historic Sun Inn, which once hosted founding fathers like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city became a powerhouse of the American Industrial Revolution as the home of Bethlehem Steel. Today, the remnants of the massive steel blast furnaces have been dynamically repurposed into the SteelStacks arts and culture campus. This blend of colonial charm and industrial grit creates a captivating, soulful atmosphere that attracts visitors year-round.
