Hugh Moore Historical Park and Museum is a Smithsonian-affiliated organization in the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. It's where geography and geology met human genius and energy-a confluence which transformed the United States from a rural, agricultural society into an industrial power. The industrial evolution began, and America was, literally, built here.
