"Early Bessemer" book signing

Join us as we celebrate the release of Early Bessemer! This history of Bessemer's first 50 years includes nearly 200 beautiful photographs from the Bessemer Hall of History's collection.

You can meet the author, Jason Burnett, and purchase signed copies of the book (they make great holiday gifts). Proceeds from book sales help support the museum.

This event is co-hosted by the Bessemer Hall of History and the Service League.
