Supporting the Art and History of Letterpress Printing

Movable type and printing by hand helps us tell the stories of our country’s past, present and future. Your support of the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum allows us to keep this craft alive by sharing it with our visitors.

The Hamilton Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts and educational organization. Donations to the museum are tax deductible. We rely on the involvement and generosity of individual contributors combined with grants from foundations and government agencies to fund our educational initiatives, public programs and exhibitions.
