| Situated
in the town of Strabane, Gray’s Printing
Press is owned by The National Trust if contains an extensive display
of hand printing presses and equipment dating back to the 19th century.
The museum commemorates the
days when Strabane was very prominent in publishing in Ireland. |
Some of the exhibits focus on the connection to
a group of Ulster Americans, most famously John Dunlap, credited with
founding Pennsylvania Packet, America’s first daily newspaper, and
printing the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
In addition to pre-automated printing equipment,
the museum offers educational audiovisual presentations and a relaxing
country garden located on the grounds.
