Recording and collecting the work of inventors has long been a mission of the Smithsonian.The Lemelson Center of the National Museum of American History documents, interprets, and disseminates information about invention and innovation, and fosters an appreciation for the central role invention and innovation play in the history of the United States. The National Air & Space Museum explores the invention, history, science, and technology of aviation and space flight. The Anacostia Museum has a special exhibit: The Real McCoy, African-American Invention and Innovation, 1619-1930 and the Remembering Gallery's exhibit: American Inventors and Inventions. Here we examine a handful of famous Amercan inventors, some like Benjamin Franklin, who are well known for their creations, others such as Thomas Jefferson, who are better known for other contributions.
