The Museum preserves the heritage of the mechanical arts, celebrates the ingenuity of our mechanical forebears, and explores the effects of their work on our everyday lives. The American Precision Museum, housed in the original Robbins & Lawrence Armory, now holds the largest collection of historically significant machine tools in the nation.
FROM MUSKETS TO MOTORCARS: YANKEE INGENUITY AND THE ROAD TO MASS PRODUCTION: Continuing for its second year, the museum's main exhibit explores how the tools and techniques of precision manufacturing made mass production possible.
