American Mural Project: Innovation Wall Exhibit

For more than 350 years, Connecticut has been the birthplace of invention. The helicopter, nuclear submarine, the first space suit on the moon, and even the Wiffle Ball were all born and manufactured in Connecticut. To honor this legacy, the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame (AMHoF) is partnering with AMP to host the Innovation Wall, a 1,500 sq ft interactive display featuring 50 Connecticut Innovation Firsts. This "greatest hits" of Nutmeg State ingenuity includes everything from the first nuclear submarine to the first moon walk, from Sikorsky to Silly Putty, from the WASP engine to Wiffle Balls, from PEZ to parachutes. Visitors can even hold racing bicycle wheels that won 14 medals at the Paris Olympics. The exhibition is included at no extra charge with regular admission to AMP. Available during AMP's Open hours, Friday and Saturday 10am - 5pm Sunday 12pm - 5pm About the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame The American Manufacturing Hall of Fame (AMHoF) was formed in 2014 by a passionate group of manufacturing stakeholders.
