About Us

Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop 

It is our mission to foster curiosity and ingenuity by learning to observe, experiment, and create.

The Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop is situated on the site of the Eli Whitney Armory, a significant part of early American industrial history. We preserve this history and continue its legacy through our unique hands-on learning workshops.

We host field trips, weekend projects, and special programs for learners of all ages. Our apprentice program trains teens to support our educational programs through production and design thinking.
