Overview
Join us on March 21& March 22 from 11am-4pm as we bring history to life with live demonstrations and interactive activities for all ages. See many of our artifacts in operation including our 115-ton Corliss Steam Engine, try your hand at powering the maypole cord braiding machine, or make coasters on a 19th century printing press.
The Circular Sock Machine Knitters of the MARS (Mid-Atlantic Region) will also be hosting a special Crank-In event at the National Museum of Industrial History. Knitters from across the country will gather at the museum bringing their own circular sock knitting machines to create socks throughout the day.
The museum will remain open to the public, and visitors are invited to observe this unique event with the purchase of regular museum admission.
