This exhibit explores the metal that shaped Meriden. From early pewter artisans and small workshops in the 18th century to the rise of world-renowned silver and pewter manufacturers, the exhibit traces how silver fueled innovation, immigration, and community life over two and a half centuries. Through objects made and used in Meriden—alongside photographs, and stories—the exhibition reveals how craftsmanship and industry reflected the city’s ambitions, values, and resilience. More than a tale of manufacturing, Silver and Spirit shows how International SIlver reflects and creates Meriden’s and America’s story. Tours at 11:00 and 1:00. Reserve your spot HERE.
