Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark

20 32nd St N, Birmingham, AL
Tel: (205) 324-1911 • Web: Visit this site »

Located at First Avenue North and 32nd Street, Sloss Furnace is literally the birthplace of the city of Birmingham. The furnaces, restored in 1983, were constructed in 1882 and produced steel for more than 90 years. In addition to the impressive furnaces, there is an industrial museum (with a slide show translated into 10 languages), a sculpture garden and a park. The furnaces are occasionally the site of concerts and festivals, but otherwise admission is free. This is one of the most fascinating places in Birmingham.
