Visitors to the New Britain Industrial Museum are routinely amazed by the range
of products pioneered in New Britain from the common coat hanger to high-tech
products for the military and aerospace industries. Located on the second floor
of the ITBD Building, CCSU’s presence downtown, the museum is open Monday
through Friday from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M. and Wednesdays from 12:00 to 5:00 P.M.
Over 50 industries are represented by products made in New Britain over the last
200 years. The Museum regularly changes exhibits and fields questions from folks
all over the U.S. on its web site. Members receive a Quarterly Newsletter covering
various aspects of New Britain's industrial history. The Museum is operated entirely
by volunteers and admission is free.
