"If you're into industrial revolution and machinery, this is a very cool museum. Very knowledgeable employees, also very friendly. They provide a self guided audio tour. The displays were very cool! I think it's a must do! I was so into the history and how far we've come, I forgot to take pictures. Sorry..."
"Cute small musuem but with lots of info and some hands on demos. Also has some 3d printing demo and info too! There's a family discount. And plenty to see."
"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. This 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! Do 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. The 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. It’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!"
"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 museum is wonderful! It'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. The 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. Knowledgeable 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. They also have an amazing collection of working miniatures, and—somehow—Bridgeport mill serial number one, from 1938."
