Superb, hands on museum
History of Horno Alto Nº 3, Horno Alto Nº 3 was designed by Arthur G. McKee & Co. from Cleveland, Ohio. The installation began in October 1965 and it began operating in January 1968, with the capacity to produce 1,500 to 2,000 tons of cast iron per day. It had the most advanced technologies, notable among which were the electronic programmer of raw materials and the automatic system for the control of furnace combustion. With the beginning of operations of Horno Alto Nº 3, the Monterrey Foundry reached a production of a million tons of steel per year, which made it the most important steel mill in Mexico.

Interesting old foundry museum
Very interesting old foundry museum. You get to walk through a lot of historical vignettes and through most of the old foundry itself including the acero. Easy to spend several hours here. There is a restaurant and cafe in the museum as well as others scattered throughout the park. It is nice to see that they have cleaned up the foundry site to the point where lush gardens and trees are able to grow again.
