Pages of Invention:
The Communications Tour
Pages of Invention: The Communications Tour is a fascinating review of the ingenious inventions that have shaped mankind's communications and, in turn, history. The tour traces the development of the technologies mankind has used to transmit ideas, including writing, papermaking, printing and newspapers. The Museum's magnificent collection of 18th and 19th century machinery is used as a springboard to introduce the students to American and world history and to many great inventions.
Visitors also meet one of greatest Americans in history, Dr. Benjamin Franklin, in the Museum's Heritage Theatre. With the goal to stimulate and challenge, Dr. Franklin talks about his life and many accomplishments, interacting with the guests and fielding their questions.
