One of our favorite parts of Two Rivers, always inspiring. Can't wait to come back for a class!

Watching a movie about the museum. Fascinating. Living in Adelaide, South Australia. Wish I could get there.

Mark Brylski

Very interesting local history. Would be very interesting as an art project.

What a surprise treasure! Fascinating history of not only wood type printing but others such as lino type. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and easy to learn from. Many old and new prints to see, some to purchase. Truly a living active museum; a wonderful archive of this graphic art form and its tools.

Inspiring mixture of history plus the largest collection of wood type you could hope to set eyes on. Charming, knowledgeable staff make tours and workshops fun and educational

Such wonderful, friendly staff. My husband and I especially enjoyed an up close view of several old Linotype machines and chatting with one of their volunteers - a retired physicist - who was so informative and personable. Thanks for making it a fun winter day in Two Rivers.

Our Airbnb hostess pointed us to this gem. You don't get a sense of the size of this place when you first walk in. There is quite a bit to see. We ended up spending about an hour and a half. The $5 admission is a bargain for getting to see all of the old machinery, all the old typefaces, and to learn about this industry that this company ended up dominating for many decades. It was plenty interesting going around self-guided, but we learned that there are tours available, and it is clear that the staff are very knowledgeable. Tours run for 45 minutes to an hour, and I learned that one of the tour guides used to be employed at the company.

A ONE OF A KIND museum which houses woodtype that goes back to its beginnings. Type is being preserved and more is collected to have the only museum of its kind in the country. See the history, shop the gift shop, or print something of your own. Don't miss it.

The place is huge inside! Extensive exhibits. Definitely worth a visit especially since it only costs $5. The museum store probably has THE most unique Two Rivers souvenirs you are likely to find anywhere. Exceptionally friendly and informative staff.

This was a great museum experience. It's a great collection of artifacts, and we had an awesome guided tour by a former employee of the company.
