Which witch would you choose? Our image collection, the bulk of which is donated, includes these two witches for Halloween.

Hey, Cincinnati history buffs! In our collection of donated image plates for print, we found this riverfront gem. Can anyone date this view of the Queen City's waterfront, as seen from the Kentucky shore? Please post your answers in the comments. Thanks!

Who remembers Q-W-E-R-T-Y from Typing 101? In addition to workable, antique printing presses and equipment, our museum also has a small collection of antique typewriters. And when school children start plunking around on the keyboard with "Hey!, this is just like my computer!!"...we remind them that their computer is just like THIS antiquity. Schedule your tour today at 513-941-5722.

Who remembers this lovable children's TV show host? Captain Kangaroo (real name Bob Keeshan) hosted his own network TV children's show for 29 years, from 1955-84.

Thanks to donated imagery, our students-in-training have created a kids' coloring book featuring the Captain himself, plus TV sidekicks Mr. Green Jeans, Bunny Rabbit, Dancing Bear and Grandfather Clock. Be sure to pick one up with your children, grandchildren, students or visitors when you schedule a tour at our hands-on, history-packed, niche museum in Lower Price Hill! 513-9941-5722.

Remember this retailer? BJ Skeffington’s was once THE place for men’s formal wear, with Cincinnati-area locations downtown, Queensgate and Park Hills.

Local printing companies, letterpress collectors, retired printers and family members of printers often donate type, imagery, letterpress plates and other items to our museum, and we’re always thrilled to discover Cincinnati history come to life on our printing presses! Schedule your FREE tour today at 513-941-5722.

From 1948-1995, this Cincinnati store was a hometown go-to source for buying appliances, home goods and electronics. Who remembers the name of the store...and where was its flagship store located?

(Note: when setting type by hand, you quickly learn how to read backwards!). Schedule your FREE museum tour today at 513-941-7522!

Setting type and imagery by hand is painstakingly slow sometimes…but so worth the effort!. Thanks to Cincinnati-area printing companies, letterpress enthusiasts, and the families of printers, almost all of our imagery and type fonts have been donated to the museum.

What would you like to create and print when you schedule your tour at our site in Lower Price Hill? Let us know and we’ll see if we have it in our collection. Set up a (free!) tour at 513-941-5722.

Workhorse? Indeed? The Showcard proof press is a workhorse piece of equipment (no pun intended) at our Lower Price Hill Museum. It’s where we test layouts, fonts, spacing and other elements of good printing design.

Here, a letterpress image plate (left) of a horse is laid out, adjusted and held in place by powerful magnets. Once rolled with ink, the printed image then gets eyeballed. Is it straight? Is the ink applied equally? Does the layout need to be adjusted?

Tie on a printer’s apron and try the Showcard firsthand when you (and your group, homeschool class, family, friends) schedule a free tour today at 513-914-5722. Donations are accepted.
