Museum Profile
American Precision Museum
The American Precision Museum combines the atmosphere of an original 19th century factory building with a world-class collection of historic machines. The 1846 armory building, the “Shaping America” exhibition and accompanying programs explore industrial history in the context of innovation, creative problem solving, and the impact of precision manufacturing on American history and culture. The armory building is significant for its architectural integrity, which reflects the size, scale, and operation of a 19th century factory. APM played an important role in the development of precision manufacturing and the machine tool industry in America.
