A guided tour of a print shop that never stopped printing.
Our volunteer printers — many of whom worked these very trades — walk you through the museum with every machine running. You’ll hear the Linotype cast hot metal, watch the Heidelberg turn, and pull a print of your own.
Live demonstrations
Linotype, Ludlow and the 1936 Heidelberg Cylinder — running, not roped off.
Hand typesetting
Set type from the case just as Gutenberg did in the 1400s.
Print your own
Pull a print on presses from the mid-1800s and take it home.
Stories & history
Told by the printers who lived it — from country newspapers to city presses.
Tour particulars
Tell us your group and preferred date — we’ll do the rest.
To avoid disappointment, please book ahead by phone or email. We’ll confirm your date and tailor the tour to your group.
