Perhaps the most unique component of the Spaulding Center will be the Restoration Laboratory. The potential to restore or recreate ‘lost works’ such as the Spaulding automobile itself is what will truly put us on the map! We envision spaces side-by-side with the museum where the public can view restorations in progress. The ability for master craftsmen to demonstrate their skills, combined with the public’s ability to peek ‘under the skin’ of a 1930’s airplane cannot be overestimated. This is the type of experience that breeds a respect for history, launches lifelong hobbies, and teaches the value of developing unique personal skills.
