The museum’s Vernon P. Hearn Printmaker’s shop plays host to two 1830s star wheel stone litho presses, a 20th century proof press and a 19th century engraving press. Among its most prized presses are an Albion from around 1820 and a Columbian press, circa 1850.
During tours, guests take part in the printing of a leaf of the Gutenberg Bible pulled from a period press. Workshop visitors can view demonstrations, as well as attend classes for lithography, letterpress printing, binding and paper making.
