Organizer
Howard Iron Works Printing Museum
Howard Iron Works Museum is a museum of printing history with a focus on machinery from the 1830s to the 1970s. This period was an exciting time for not only worldwide technology but also for improvements to the printing press. Unlike any other, printing has spurred man to great things. Howard Iron Works is supported by the world-class talent in order to restore and present equipment just as it would have been when leaving the original factories. We hope you will enjoy the site and pay a visit where rare and unusual machinery comes to life.
