All around the United States on this weekend people will be commemorating this event by putting two candles in their windows the same way Paul Revere did 250 years ago in the Old North Church in Boston to notify the people of the British coming via The Charles River, by the end of the next evening, according the the NPS.GOV website, the revolutionary war began. We are excited to announce that we have a c.100 year old Willits Canoe Company Printing Press on loan from Foss Waterway Seaport Museum, and we are taking it to schools, museums and libraries across the state in the next three years leading up to America 250 in 2026. Visitors are invited to try making their own print with the Printing press and we are teaching visitors how to make their own picture stamps that can be loaded into the press. So far we have visited over 14 libraries, museums and schools in Washington State and Oregon, and over 1000 people have made prints on the press! If your Museum, School or library would like us to bring the printing press to you let us know. Email us at [email protected] More events coming soon..... |
