A bronze statue of inventor Ralph Baer sits on a bench in Arms Park near the Manchester mill buildings where he developed pioneering home video-game technology. Baer is widely credited as the "father of the video game" for work that led to the Magnavox Odyssey. Visitors can sit beside the life-size figure overlooking the Merrimack River.
