Since we couldn't go inside, I decided to walk across the nearby bridge to at least get a view from a distance. When it's closed, there really isn't a way to get much closer, so you're limited to exterior views only. From the photos and reviews others have posted, it looks like a really cool and educational spot, especially if you're interested in industrial history. It seems like the tours give you a great glimpse into what factory life looked like back when it was one of the biggest steel suppliers in the U.S. Knowing it operated for around 90 years before shutting down in 1971 makes it even more fascinating. Even though I didn't get the full experience, the scale of the structures and the history behind the site were still impressive from afar. I'd definitely plan to return on a day they're open to properly explore it -- it looks like a unique and worthwhile stop if you're in town.

He called it the 3 divas of the Louvre. Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and the Mona Lisa. He explained many bits of information on each of these most impressive sites. Things that you cannot know from just any tour book or even some guides. Undoubtedly this was the best tour I've ever had, and this location called for it. We were told that if you spent 1 minute at every exhibit in this museum, it would take you over a month to see everything. What a great place this is. A place where history has stopped and tells you a story. The art is unbelievable. The status are amazing. The atmosphere is awe-inspiring. I absolutley loved the experience of being at the Louvre. Even with a map, you will be surprised at what you find around the next corner. You could spend a whole day here and go around the world and so far back in time that it doesn't seem real. I recommend getting a tour from a reputable company. It will make a huge difference in your experience.
