Sketch at the Paterson Museum
From airplanes to locomotives to early Indian culture there’s plenty to sketch.
The Wright Aeronautical Corporation
was headquartered in Paterson. During the Second World War, the Wrights played a major part in the war effort. The plants in and around Paterson produced over 142,000 aircraft engines.
Machine and Locomotive Industries
The machine shops of Paterson developed a reputation for employing the best men and producing the finest machinery in the United States. This is where the earliest machines that would spin and weave cotton were constructed and maintained. The total number of locomotives produced from 1837 to 1926 in Paterson amounts to over 10,000.
Pequapick
This exhibit, comprised of artifacts and replications representing the Delaware-Lenape culture, has been designed to generate an appreciation of the ingenuity and harmonious environmental adaptation of this indigenous culture.

The museum has a collection of colorful spools and machines from this era.
