Mercer Museum, Early American artifacts museum in Doylestown, United States.
A six-story concrete castle holds over 40,000 pre-industrial tools, including carriages, wagons, and farming equipment arranged in specialized exhibition rooms.
Henry Mercer constructed this reinforced concrete building in 1916 to preserve everyday objects from the era before mass production transformed American society.
The collection includes complete sets of tools from more than sixty early American crafts, such as woodworking, metalworking, and agricultural processing.
The museum offers guided tours, educational programs, and seasonal events, with a parking lot accommodating 80 vehicles at 84 South Pine Street.
Large artifacts hang from the ceiling of the central court, including a Conestoga wagon, whaling boat, and nineteenth-century fire engine.
