We "discovered this place and thought we'd spend 30 minutes but ended up staying 2.5 hours! Molly, Mae, Paul and Steve were so informative explaining everything to us, discussing the future ideas for growth, we felt like part of the Museum family by the time we left! If you are intriqued by how things used to be done, how they are done now or how they will be done in the future - this is the place for you. I promise you won't be disappointed with your visit - I highly recommend bring your children or grandchildren to visit also.

I wasn't completely sure what to expect from the American Precision Museum, but given our technical backgrounds, it seemed likely to be interesting. It is a bit difficult to access their parking; the turn from the main road is pretty sharp. You park 'in back' but it wasn't clear if that included some spaces along the side or just in back. Parking is all on various gravel areas and was limited, but there were not a lot of other guests on the weekday morning that we visited.
The museum is built into an old machine shop / manufacturing mill where they had a large water wheel in the basement powering overhead axels with belts, etc. So some of the exhibits were actually made in this building 150 years ago.
The lady who sold the tickets (I think it was $8 or $10 apiece) was friendly and helpful. She also recommended another stop for our afternoon (the Saint-Gaudens Historic Site) which we liked. She cued up the short intro video for us after which we entered the main exhibit space and browsed.
They provided a historical context for the museum, citing the area as the nineteenth century's rough analog to Silicon Valley. The work done in shops along the Connecticut River accelerated machining of parts and machine tools and trained apprentices that spread out across the U.S. They also had a lot of different machine / product examples and how they evolved into things one might be familiar with now. They went from mass producing gun-stocks to making parts for bicycles and typewriters. There were also examples of precision tools. Ultimately shops in the area also produced the expanded range of industrial machine/tools that produced smaller parts for various uses.
We spent just over an hour here and felt it was a very worthwhile stop. Though we didn't bring any kids, I'd think that those over 8 might find some of the exhibits interesting.

I am a U.S. manufacturing fan, so I took my wife to this museum. It provides a neat overview of the precision machine tool industry. I marveled at the displays they had the tools that were invented in the area. I found it interesting that at one point this area was known as Precision Valley well before Silicon Valley came into existence. It was sad to see how some of the old companies went away. It does not take too long but it is interesting to see the evolution of the industry. An old friend recommended we stop and glad we did.

This place is a must-visit! All of the machinery and the history of how we became industrialized is fascinating. I took tons of pictures just because it was so cool. A gal even made me a souvenir to take home!

The collection is phenomenal, IF you go on a day it is open (or call in advance.) But the main exhibit downstairs is unbalanced in favor of modern sponsors. With so much emphasis on recent equipment, there is not enough room left to show historical pieces.

A most informative presentation of machines and production from early days to modern days. Well displayed machinery and processes with informative text adjoining. The working model displays are exceptional and of great interest to all, even the casual visitor. However, as a lay person I would have appreciated a graphic for each on how the machines actually worked. The ability to get information from a very knowledgeable person is a bonus.
Finding the entrance to the museum from the street was a small problem and the parking area was not clearly defined but the sign to the parking was helpful.
There is a very warm welcome with an introductory video, that we had watched from home. It was very well done.
This museum has to be kept in good repair and remain in this location for history’s sake. Their STEM expansion project will be very worthwhile.

Small museum definitely worth a visit. Maggie gave us a private tour and was very knowledgeable and friendly. They made socks and Maggie explained the steps on the still working machines then showed us the power sources water then engines. The grounds are well preserved and if you love history you will love this place.

The museum is small by many standards but packed with history, information and machinery. The staff were friendly, informative and welcoming. My husband, an engineer by education, was very pleased with his time spent there.

A hidden gem! What a great place with history of machines and the improvements over time. Once they figured out to make machines with interchangeable parts things just took off from there. Lots of old machines, explanations of how they worked, how they made life easier. It explained how they used water power to run the machines in the beginning. They have a hand-held device that allows you to listen to information on many of the exhibits, so you don't have to rely on a tour guide. Quite alot of it was over my head, but still very interesting.
