Hiking in the historical museum I did not really like it. I think his collection is very poor.
Here's a short list of what you can see there:
- Fine Arts – paintings, including landscapes by local artists and portraits from the 18th and 19thcenturies; watercolors, prints and drawings.
- Decorative Arts – regional furniture from the 17th through the 19th centuries, pewter, silver, clocks, textiles, glass, and ceramics.
- Maritime History – images and objects relating to New Haven’s coastal, West Indies, and international trade, oyster industry, and shipbuilding.
- Technology and Manufacturing – includes an original model and full-size working version of Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, an early milling machine from the Whitney Armory, one of the first Morse code receivers, and a reconstruction of the first telephone switchboard.Well, according to the tradition of a few photos.
