Eli Whitney Museum and Workshop

About
This isn’t a display museum... It’s an indoor workshop where kids (best for ages 5–12) can drop in on weekends to build wooden projects like boats or trains. Admission is free; you just pay a small fee if your child makes a project. The building sits on the historic Eli Whitney Armory site, with optional outdoor trails to explore after your workshop time. Typically open Wednesday–Sunday; some workshops require advance registration. (check schedule)
