To prevent the art of running a newspaper or print 
shop from years past from being lost forever the Midwest
Old Threshers is in the process of setting up a Printer's
Hall in exhibit hall B. Go to the bottom of the page for
more information on the project.

      The main exhibit will be gas or steam powered
equipment from the 1920's.  It will also cover  printers
from the 1800's right on up to the present.

      There are still people experienced in operating this
equipment.  They will be able to pass these skills on to
younger generations so the art will not be lost.

     If you are interested in supporting this project with 
financial gifts or donations of printing equipment please 
contact Midwest Old Threshers.
