September 4, 2019Wm POut of the way little gem
Can't recall the gents' name that gave us the tour, but he knew those machines and gave us such a good run down, I practically felt I could join in and get the next issue out! Couldn't believe all the rows and rows of different fonts needed to print a paper.

Learning about the pros in printing
I had booked for my wife and I to visit the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum at 5 P.M. Someone was there for us and he was very friendly. He shared with us all about this Printing Museum. They had several printing machinery and he explained every one of us. There were pictures on the wall of people who used to work here. He showed the timeline of this Printing and there were several Remington typing machines. We enjoyed our visit and we were grateful for that man who guided us in this museum. This is worthwhile to see!

Very interesting historical print shop in Coos Bay
Often overlooked but is very interesting. It is often devoid of visitors and you get a personal tour from very informed volunteers. There are looks of old pictures, original local newspapers and printing equipment.

Visit a 19th Century Newspaper
This is a working museum. I've used their presses to print my wife's business cards (letterpress). Hours are sporadic, so call ahead.
