The Rothschild Petersen Patent Model Museum is currently housed in a private residence in Cazenovia, New York.
Models are viewable by appointment only.
Due to limited space, Rothschild can only display a fraction of his entire collection. Many of the patent models are still in their original packing materials, untouched by human hands for decades. But a collection of such national historic importance needs a real home. Alan Rothschild hopes to establish a national Patent Model Museum, preferably in the Central New York area - but other prominent areas in the United States are also being considered. His main concern has been preserving the models, and preventing the collection from being split up.
