Why Visit AAIM?

A must place to visit by every student to be proud of the local history. Very informative and well-maintained equipment. I met Mr. Carlton who takes care of the museum. He is very helping and interested to explain each and everything to visitors to visualise history in a short time."

Very interesting collection that chronicles the history of Attleboro industry. Lots of machines and examples of the jewelry-making businesses that once thrived here. We went on a weekday. There weren't any other visitors and the staff were extra friendly... we were given a partial guided tour of several areas."
