[HISTORY] The Steel Plant Museum of Western New York is one of the best resources to learn about Buffalo’s industrial upbringings that the city has to offer. And the second annual edition of Steel Fest, this Saturday, May 21 is a great opportunity to check out, or revisit, this great cultural institution. The festival will feature 20 local vendors who will be selling handmade and handcrafted goods ranging from artwork to tableware and textiles. Providentially located near the site of Solar City, the Steel Plan Museum boasts a large collection of industrial artifacts from Buffalo’s steel mills. The festival will also coincide with the unveiling of the museum’s latest exhibit, Women of Steel: Women in the Steel Plant Industry.
