PRINTING MUSEUMS -- Graphic Arts Get-aways

Printing methods of the past are not the only techniques featured at this facility. LePoer notes that the museum has the ability to provide demonstrations on equipment all the way up to the digital printing age. "We really tell the entire story of printing in America," he stresses.

The museum's building, on North Andover Common, was originally built as an industrial history museum in the 1960s by the North Andover Historical Society. It is located in the Boston Navy Yard—part of the Boston National Historic Park—and is now also the home to the National Park Service's regional headquarters, the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) and her museum.
