A local museum and historical collection has been active since 1984. It is now located in a former steel company administration building in the inner harbor, away from Lackawanna. Called the Steel Plant Museum of Western New York, it is open three days a week. It shares the space with a regional heritage organization, and a railway history group. Inside are displays and relics, principally from the Lackawanna Plant, which was bought by Bethlehem Steel in 1922, and was the largest in the region. The museum hopes to renovate and occupy a much larger, currently abandoned building next door. And there are other plans to develop the site into a large Heritage Center, and park. In the meantime the museum is a modest and poignant reliquary for gone Old Steel.
