A really interesting experience. Not only did I learn a lot about the history of Canadian printing, but also about the Upper Canada Rebellion. Furthermore, it was extremely hands-on, where you were allowed to use an old printer, print your own name, and walk away with the poster. Very fun, and the host was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly it.
Great place to learn about William Mackenzie, his political views, and his letterpress printing business. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the period of time Mackenzie, as well as, of course, Mackenzie himself. There is a hands-on demonstration as well, where everyone gets to set type and see it printed!
NICE PLACE TIO GO FOR A WALK WITH THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND YOUR PET ALONG THE RIVER. ALSO GOOD FOR BIKING. I RECOMEND IT TO EVERYBODY
Museum would be especially interesting and informational for kids and people interested in the history of printing. The area around is nice for a walk.
If you are interested in the press, I'm sure have an interesting time in this little museum. You can see collection of traditional print machines.
Wonderful experience. A lot of history, and you even get to use one of the printing presses to print your name!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history in his presentation. There were a few children on the tour who were very excited about printing their names out and he was very patient with them. If you like history and/ or media communication, I recommend it!
Loved this place. Not very big but the guides are very thorough and explained everything. Just below the Brock monument and near the Laura Secord house you can easily do these 3 historic sites in one swoop. You even get to take home a souvenir made with an historic printing press! Recommended for all ages.
So cool to see how news papers and documents were made
My fiance called this the highlight of our 2-day Niagara Falls trip. It's a small, almost hidden museum with very fascinating, hands-on history. For a ~$6 entrance fee, you get a few self-printed paper souvenirs, the opportunity to see/touch printing materials from the late 1800s, and a 45-minute guided tour timing is flexible. You learn about a pivotal time in Canadian history and learn about how early newspaper printing has changed over the years. The information was well-presented, with a good amount of details not too overwhelming and not too watered-down. If you're driving down Niagara Parkway, it's a convenient midpoint between Niagara Falls and the pretty historical town by Lake Ontario.
