Howard Iron Works Printing Museum
At the Howard Iron Works Printing Museum, our collection of printing machines and artifacts showcases pivotal historical moments and technological progressions. Serving as a tribute to the printing industry, our focus on historical preservation and restoration also draws diverse groups beyond the printing industry. Visitors include automobile clubs, community-based organizations like the Army Cadets and Girl Guides, as well as individuals from retirement homes.
As a not-for-profit initiative, the museum embodies our commitment to philanthropy by raising funds for local causes that are independent of religious or political affiliations. Since 2018, we have proudly supported the Lighthouse for Grieving Children and Families in Oakville, contributing to their noble mission.
