Recently my family and I visited the Computer Museum of America in Roswell, Georgia. The museum houses one of the world’s largest collections of artifacts from the digital era including rotary photos, transistor radios, personal computers, a World War II cipher computer called the Enigma machine, and playable classic video games like Asteroids and Donkey Kong. If you enjoy old school technology like I do, you can even type up a letter on a typewriter.
My favorite part of the museum was the Apollo exhibit with dioramas and scale models of Apollo 11 spacecrafts, over seventy super computers, video documentaries, and a exhibit that highlights films featuring computer technology.
Forsyth County Public Library patrons can check out a pass to the Compuer Museum of America that will admit four visitors to the museum for free. It's a fun way to see how technology has evolved in just a few decades and enjoy playing some retro video games.
Forsyth County Public Library offers several museum and park passes that patrons can check out.
