Honoring and Preserving
We honor and preserve the heritage of the Atlas Portland Cement Company and its legendary cement plant in Northampton, PA – which, at its height, employed more than 5,000 workers and was the largest cement plant in the world.
As the only Portland Cement museum operating in the United States, the Atlas Cement Company Memorial Museum in Northampton tells the story of the Atlas through the eyes of the men and women who worked here.
“The Atlas plants are now sleeping … but the memories of the men and women who worked there will live forever.”
Frank WolferAtlas employee of more than 45 years
