Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop produces over 40,000 projects a year for school, community, and Museum programming. Apprentices train in the design and production of these projects throughout the year, pack and prepare projects to go to schools, and support our educators as assistants in our vacation day and summer programs for students ages 6-15. Apprenticeship encourages many passions and builds the discipline needed to excel. Apprentices begin training in 8th grade and typically stay in the program through their senior year of high school.
Come explore your skills and interests with us!
Apprentices must be ages 13-15 & 8th or 9th grade at the time of applying.

In 1937, the A.C. Gilbert Company purchased the American Flyer model train company. The company had been struggling, but A.C. Gilbert Co. made them successful again by improving the model offerings and marketing them with the rest of their engineering educational toys.
Every year from Thanksgiving to late January, visitors can experience the A.C. Gilbert Train Display, a beloved annual tradition. A four-track model featuring Gilbert American Flyer trains is on display and available for you to drive your own train.
