Siddon Print Shop
Explore the printing presses and equipment that produced newspapers and advertisements for early Mason County residents.
In an era before digital media, the printing press was the world’s most powerful communications technology. For small towns like those across Mason County, a local print shop meant newspapers, handbills, legal documents, and the shared printed word that knit communities together.
The Siddon Print Shop houses an impressive collection of authentic printing presses, compositing cabinets, type cases, and related equipment — a working archive of the craft as it was practiced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Everything here is the real thing, not a reproduction.
Whether you’re a typography enthusiast, a journalism history buff, or just curious about how words got onto paper before computers, the print shop is a fascinating and hands-on corner of the Village.
