This mission is to be accomplished through the thoughtful and selective collection of significant artifacts, photographs, drawings, and documents pertaining to the area’s industrial history. Research, exhibitions, and educational programming will be an integral part of the mission. The education of the public and the encouragement of the careers in industry are central to this mission.
