Visitors enjoy a special presentation in the theater at Steamtown NHS.
The Steamtown NHS Museum Complex includes a 250-seat theater. On most days, the 18-minute HD film "Steel and Steam" is shown every half hour, at the top and bottom of the hour - first show is at 9:30 am, last show at 4:00 pm. During our Winter Hours schedule, this film is shown in the Theater only on Saturdays and Sundays, first show at 10:30 am, last show at 3:00 pm. Winter weekdays, and on days where the main Theater is closed, the film screens in the History Museum (top level) on a continuous loop schedule.
We occasionally showcase various other railroad-related special presentations in the Theater, courtesy of unique partnerships with national railroads such as Amtrak, Canadian Pacific Railway, Norfolk Southern, and CSX, as well as and , our regional PBS affiliate.
