Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, houses a world-class collection of wood type, historical prints, and printing equipment dating back to the founding of the Hamilton Manufacturing Company in 1880. With a hands-on mission to preserve history for creative use today, it operates as a workshop where archival tools and production materials are used for both education and continued practice. Presenting a unique view of the history and contemporary state of American letterpress printing, this exhibition brings Hamilton’s work to Minnesota for the first time.
