For more than 350 years Connecticut has been the birthplace of Innovation.
The helicopter, nuclear submarine, the first space suit on the moon and even the Wiffle Ball were all born and manufactured in Connecticut.
To honor this legacy, a passionate group of manufacturing stakeholders founded the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame (AHHOF) in 2014.
