2024 Hall Of Fame Inductees
John S. Worth & William P. Worth
Steel is a crucial part of life. In fact, we cannot live our lives without steel. It is almost everywhere we look: our skyscrapers, the cars we drive in and bridges we drive across, protecting and cooking the food we eat, serving in national defense, and elsewhere.
The history of iron and steel is long – thousands of years. It is rich – full of amazing discoveries, life-changing inventions, important decisions, and keen individuals. What are those discoveries, inventions, and decisions? And who are the individuals that made them?
In 2017, NISHM began to assemble a list of inventors, engineers, investors, owners, and others whose actions have had great impact upon the iron and steel industry. These people have had either state, national, or global influence, from the industry’s beginning to its present-day.
This iron and steel Hall of Fame reveals a sampling of those inventors, engineers, investors, and owners. These men and women have had some of the greatest influence on the iron and steel industry over the last few centuries. We hope you enjoy the exhibit!
NISHM inducts additional people to the Hall yearly, so if you think an individual who has not been included and should be, please let us know… your input is welcome.
