Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark

Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark offers both self-guided and guided tours. Our self-guided tours allow people the opportunity to explore the site on their own, while reading about how the furnaces worked and the story of the men who worked there. Our self-guided tour brochure explains the process while the informative signs throughout the site expand on the story by including science, history, and social themes associated with Sloss Furnaces.

Our guided tours are offered Thursday-Saturday by appointment and are an hour long. A docent walks you though the site explaining how the site operated, the stories of the men working the site, and its importance to Birmingham.

Self-guided tours are free and offered Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm; guided tours are $10 and are offered at 10:30am and 2pm Thursday-Saturday by appointment.
