Eli Whitney Museum

With precision, we explore the world from micro to macro. Your donation has a precise impact on our community.

2022 has been a year of bridging gaps and forging community connections.

We teach children to think with their hands, to share tools, to step outside the social bubbles of their neighborhoods…

Each year we write to thank you for all that children have built here with your support and to ask for your continued help. We try to compress into a few words and images the essence of our work. This year we have enclosed the work itself – an experiment that captures our purpose.

In a year of unnerving rhetoric, remember the power of play.

Jennifer Oxley spoke at our Annual Meeting this Fall. She's an Emmy-winning filmmaker and animator in N.Y. Twenty five years ago she was our first Apprentice.

Keeping Promises

When I was young, there was a gifted furniture maker in New Haven whose work had all the elegance of an old master.

Finding Long Vision
Felix is six. Standing amid a group of red-shirted apprentices, he announced that he was going to work at the Museum when he grows up.

I write to thank you for all that we have accomplished with your past support and to ask you for
your continued help.

We write to thank you for all that we have accomplished with your past investment in the Museum and to ask you for your continued support.
