It's difficult to imagine what a typewriter, a skateboard, a telescope, and a space suit could possibly have in common. While at first glance it is difficult to make a connection, they are all part of a fascinating new collection that opens on Friday, September 21 at the Kentucky Museum on the campus of WKU.

This unique collection showcases the ordinary means by which Americans from many fields of study have achieved extraordinary things-- the actual "tools" that have shaped the course of this nation's history. Serving to educate and inspire, these items remind us that the actual instruments used by the highest of achievers are not magical or highly unusual, but rather that the attainment of excellence is often achieved only by the imagination and perseverance that personify the American spirit.
