  • This was much better then I expected. Its not a big museum, but they doo have all the making of a print shop. Very glad that we stopped. I like these small town places. They never try to rip you off....  more

  • Seeing how they did it in the old days was fun for this retired PR person. Remembering a time when newspapers could thrive in any size town whereas today even Denver doesn't have one was something...

  • This historic building is utterly jaw-dropping inside. The printing shop on the first floor contains all the original equipment used to print newpapers back when this building was constructed (1879!), and the walls are papered over with original clippings and articles from the contemporary time. It's like stepping in a time machine, as if the newspaper workers just stepped out for lunch. Upstairs is a suprisingly full museum of all aspects of Eureka history, with plenty to look at. Highly recommend for history buffs.
  • Wonderful little museum full of interesting exhibits with fascinating historical items on display. If you like to read and have any interest in journalism and vintage typewriters, you are certain to enjoy more than just a few minutes in here. Many beautiful vintage typewriters on display! If you are interested in graphic design and printing, you have to check it out and spend some time looking around the press room. Fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and still really didn't get to see everything. There are new displays being installed! I got a sneak peek of the next room which features antique fire fighter equipment and fraternal organization regalia! Wow! Step inside and look around for a while, you are certain to enjoy it. Remember to give a donation and make a purchase from the little gift shop. Indian Head pennies and buffalo nickels! Lots of books on the local history for your entertainment and enlightenment. Enjoy!
