Darlington is a small town in Beaver County, PA, one of those places that if you blink you missed it so the presence here of a nineteenth century technology museum is more than unexpected. Located in a nice, new, spacious building you will find a wide variety of steam and gasoline engines that powered the industrial revolution. Beaver County was well represented with companies that manufactured all sorts of machinery to power oil drilling, farming, metal making, and just about anything needed to develop the fast growing economy after the civil war. The best time to visit is when they hold an open house and you can ask questions of the knowledgeable collectors who hang around and "chew the fat". Kids like to get their hands on the equipment so keep a sharp eye on them. Early glass and glass making devices are also to be found. Although no fee is collected a donation would be welcome.
