	The Hamden Journal
		Founded in 1979, the museum was started to honor the achievements of inventor and entrepreneur Eli Whitney, a historic figure who invented the concept of interchangeable parts at his machine shop along the Mill River in Hamden at the beginning of America's Industrial Revolution more than 200 years ago.
		Whitney's revolutionary idea was to have machinists - instead of gunsmiths - manufacture muskets for the United States armed forces at a factory that was privately owned, instead of government-owned.
		Originally intended as a museum devoted to the history of industry and technology, the Eli Whitney Museum found its niche in the 1990s as an educational institution devoted to hands-on workshop learning.

		At first glance the art of The Whitney Museum is certainly not traditional and some people may not even call it art.
		Usually the visitors in the museum would not have come from very diverse backgrounds and most of the young people there would have been art students or on school field trips.
		By doing this it provides a much more diverse atmosphere for the museum, as well as proving a way for youth to express their feelings and other insights on the modern arts collection The Whitney Museum holds.

		There exists question today over whether the cotton gin, which Whitney received a patent for on March 14, 1794, and its constituent elements should rightly be attributed to Eli Whitney; some contend that should be credited with the invention of the cotton gin, or at least its conception.
		The concept of interchangeable parts–identical components of a larger mechanism that could easily be swapped or replaced–actually had longer lasting effects than the cotton gin, in large part enabling the boom of cheap, mass production that began in the late nineteenth century.
		It is odd, therefore, that Whitney is known primarily for the cotton gin.
