ASM International - The Materials Information Society - has designated the Eli Whitney Armory an historical landmark. "On this site between 1798 and 1825, Eli Whitney built the first significant independent American armory. The development of materials processing innovations began the tradition of precision production and interchangeable parts in America." The Armory building houses the Eli Whitney Museum. Power was supplied from the nearby dam.
