American Computer Museum

The American Computer Museum in Bozeman displays thousands of objects tracing the development of computing technology from ancient cuneiform tablets to modern machines. The collection spans devices from different eras and demonstrates how technology transformed over time.

The museum was founded in 1990 and is the world's oldest continuously operating computer museum. It was created by George Keremedjiev to document and preserve technological developments spanning thousands of years.

Visitors walk through galleries where they can see how computing technology entered everyday life, from office workplaces to homes, shaped by the people who designed and built these machines.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers accessible visitor spaces. Plan time to move through different exhibition areas, as the collection is quite extensive.

The collection holds an Apollo Guidance Computer and the last surviving mainframe from the Apollo 11 mission that took humans to the moon. These machines demonstrate the computing power that astronauts relied on to reach another celestial body.
