Grace's Place is a museum about computers and information technology.

The museum has a range of exhibits from early tubes and analog computers, to examples of the growth in home and microcomputers over the years. 

Many computers are disassembled to display individual components, motherboards and more. Interesting artifacts from a variety of computing venues round out the collection. This museum is named in memory of computing pioneer and Naval officer, Dr. Grace Murray Hopper.
