Visit, learn or host

No booking, no cost

Walk in

Three sessions a week take no booking at all and the doors are simply open. Bring the thing that is eating your week: a spreadsheet, a job posting, a grant report, a pile of photos. Somebody sits down with you until it is done. You do not need an appointment, a laptop, or any idea what the thing you want is called.

  • A quote that takes all Sunday to write
  • A job posting you want to answer properly
  • A grant report due Friday
  • Six months of receipts in a shoebox
  • A question you were embarrassed to ask

Tuesday 10am–6pm · Wednesday 1pm–4pm · Saturday 11am–3pm

Hartford’s history of invention

Explore the history

The city's genius was never a single product. It was that a technique worked out in one shop turned up in the next one down the street: precision manufacturing from the Colt armory to Weed to Pope, then bicycles to automobiles to typewriters. This floor is that habit, one century on.

  1. 1850s Colt Armory Revolvers
  2. 1860s Weed Sewing Machine Company Sewing machines
  3. 1870s Pope Manufacturing Company Columbia bicycles
  4. c.1900 Pope Manufacturing Company Automobiles
  5. 1900s Underwood and Royal Typewriters
