Print Shop
The museum is planning on unveiling a new exhibit that will be a fully operational early 20th Century print shop in March of 2012. This exhibit, located in the Mining and Ranching Building, will be a recreation of an early print shop complete with two or more working presses, type cabinets, cases and support equipment. The exhibit will have both descriptive text panels discussing the history of newspapers in Angels Camp and Calaveras County as well as the history of printing in general. The equipment will be operated by experienced printers and trained staff for the visiting public at various scheduled times throughout the year.
