international printing museum

We want to go back to see the Ben Franklin show. It is a lively historical experience.If you do not know the significance of the Guttenberg Bible or the most complicated machine ever invented which made the newspaper possible, then go here.It is completely invisible, found by address only. So hook up the Navigator & go.I would call first to see about a tour as it is a private collection run by volunteers. The closest thing to those historical printers would be the time machines in a few movies.

The museum was awesome. The BSA Graphic Arts & Pulp & Paper MB were awesome. We came up from San Diego, we met people from San Francisco Area and there were people from Virginia. The entire day was well planned, hands on and lots of fun! This was one of the best MB days we have ever been too. The staff and volunteers were wonderful. Their passion showed and made the experience that much better. Highly recommend this event.

I took my kids, 10 and 6, to the International Printing Museum on 10/24/09. Our guide, Gary, took us through the history of printing, from the Chinese to Gutenberg to the LinoType. We all found it fascinating. He showed us how the machines worked, and printed out some samples.It's not cheap at $8 per adult and $7 for students, but for that price, you get a quirky, knowledgeable guide who actually works the machines and explains why they were invented. For anyone interested in machinery or history, it is absolutely fascinating. Our tour lasted over an hour and a half, and probably could have gone on longer if we hadn't had to leave.
