Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark

The Sloss Furnaces started manufacturing pig iron in 1882 and ran for over 90 years. The gigantic furnaces, a labyrinth of pipes, and lofty smokestacks of the Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham still survive today as a industry museum. Sloss Furnaces Historic Landmark's blast furnaces and structures illustrate the area's history and activity.

Tourists should start at the visitor center, where they may get a self-guided tour booklet and learn about the site's history through a brief video and display. On weekends and upon request, guided tours are offered. This is also the location of many fantastic photo opportunities; however, individuals using professional photography equipment must acquire permission before shooting.
