In an age before TV, radio, and the internet, the printed word was the primary means of long-distance mass communication. Watch and learn as printers set type and use reproduction printing presses to manufacture colonial newspapers, political notices, pamphlets, and books. Included with Colonial Williamsburg admission.
This was such a fascinating experience to watch. The printing process was so well explained and we learned so much! There are so many details to this process.

The Colonial Williamsburg Printing Office is extremely interesting and gives wonderful details about book printing and assembling. The gentleman in the shop was exceedingly knowledgeable about printing and book binding. They also have great displays to enhance their explanations.
