The SIA reaches across North America for traces of the industrial past. Each year, in different cities or regions with a significant legacy of industrial activity, the SIA holds a Fall Tour. Special IA Study Tours are arranged on an occasional basis worldwide. Central to all of these gatherings are special tours of contemporary and historic industrial sites and processes.

The tour will begin Wednesday October 15th and conclude Sunday October 19th.  The theme will be "Industry of the Old and New, New South" and will feature synthetic fabrics, carpets, ceramics, historic bridges and blast furnace sites, rail roads, plastics, and more. More information will be added to the web page as it becomes available.
