The Davistown Museum is a tool, art, and regional history museum with two physical locations in Maine and a website, rich with resources.

Museum of Woodworking Tools
Contact information:
New York, NY
Website:
Description:
The purpose of this site is to provide what any good museum should provide: A knowledge-base of museum quality tools and a description of tools and techniques that once existed but are now gone. A museum should not be a fossilized, nostalgic look back to the past, so we hope to show how older tools can help you to be a better woodworker.
