We had the place to ourselves because the summer season was just beginning. Joe W was a fantastic host! He spent a solid hour with my family and was a wealth of information and delightful stories. The view of the river was worth a moment of peaceful reflection also! Highly recommend stopping at APM if you are interested in manufacturing, American industry, tinkering or history.
I’ve been wanting to visit the Precision Museum for quite some time. I was just waiting to find someone nerdy enough to join me. An old friend, and railroad buff, proved just the right cohort.nnThis place is awesome. They are doing some remodeling right now, so I dropped one star. I suspect, on my next visit, I can add the fifth star. And yes, there will be another visit!nnDo not pass up on the 10? 12? minute movie to start. Professionally done, and really sets up the rest of the tour. The docent yesterday, named Joe, was fabulous. He put up w our questions no problem. He knows the place very well.nnThe garden along the river is beautiful. There was a lady reading a book there. Said she never has been inside. Just a great reading spot.nnIt’s small, of course, but big enough. Spend an hour and you can see everything. Spend another hour, and you can read most of the exhibits. Well worth your time!
This museum is wonderful!nnIt's in a former armory and factory, located on a river for what was once direct hydro power. This is a great place to bring engineers, makers, and gadget nerds.nnThe museum traces the history of precision manufacturing from the first interchangeable parts on into the modern era of additive manufacturing and computer-numerical control. The history of ingenuity and the capacity it produced won wars and propelled us into the industrial age.nnKnowledgeable staff patiently explained features and functions that weren't quite clear to us guests from looking. They have by far the nerdiest selection of books I've ever seen in a museum gift shop.nnThey also have an amazing collection of working miniatures, and—somehow—Bridgeport mill serial number one, from 1938.
I absolutely loved this museum! I learned alot about machinery and also had a nice time talking to the nice gentleman that would answer any question. He was really pretty cool! I highly recommend going.
This place had great technology and friendly knowledgeable staff, a fun and educational side quest. Highly recommend!
