The International Printing Museum, in Carson, California, has one of the largest collections of antique printing presses in the United States. We offer educational programs for school groups at the Museum, and also have a Colonial-style printing press on a trailer that can travel to schools and public events for living history programs.
Description
Celebrate the birth of America with your whole family at the Printing Museum!
Guests will enjoy a special presentation in the Heritage Theatre featuring Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Betsy Ross. You'll hear how each played a critical role in the the founding of our country. Ben Franklin will speak about his tremendous contributions and entertain you with his Glass Armonica, the musical instrument he invented.
