California's Gold with Huell Howser

Kaiser Steel

Season 14 Episode 148

Huell meets the retired employees of Kaiser Steel in Fontana. Built in 1942, the mill supplied steel to the Kaiser Shipyard in Richmond during World War II. Although the company closed in 1983, the memories remain in the Kaiser Steel-Fontana Museum, where workers donate their artifacts to an ongoing exhibit. Huell also tours the site today, a working plant now called California Steel Industries.
