We are a working museum, print shop, type shop, gallery, and store in Two Rivers, WI. Hamilton Manufacturing was America’s largest and longest operating wood type maker. We have the world’s greatest collection of type and the tools to use it. You can tour over 40,000 square feet of printing history from slabs of rough-cut maple to row upon row of exquisite type. You can see firsthand the process, the machines, the presses, the product, and the prints. On scheduled workshop days, watch new printers pulling proofs or sign up for a unique experience yourself. Wander the gallery to view new or vintage posters by artists near and far. Take a tour or visit Hamilton Dry Goods, the museum store, filled with prints and products, many of which are made by museum staff, volunteers, and interns. Visit, learn, print, repeat. We welcome you to join us!
