Living typography at the Hamilton Type Museum

The Hamilton Type Museum is a type lover's dream come true. Wired introduced me to this celebration of the history of printing explaining that the, "Hamilton is a working museum, where first-time visitors and longtime patrons alike can get their hands dirty. Ten of the museum’s 62 printing presses work, and visitors can learn entry level typesetting or basic letterpress printing." I took a few letterpress classes at CCSF and I would love to get a chance to visit their amazing collection.
