my Provo printing

This weeks adventure kept me right here in Provo at the Crandall Historical Printing Museum. I actually went with my editing class this Saturday for some extra credit, and who knew I had been driving past this little gem on center street and have never known about it?! So, yeah I am going to own up to some of my nerdiness here a little bit. They have a bunch of old working printing presses including a model of a Gutenberg printing press. Obviously when they asked for someone to volunteer I was all about it.

I don't just say this because I am an English major and I am obsessed with books (really though I would live inside of Barnes and Nobel if they would let me), but printing is the greatest invention ever. Without our civilization and societies would never have been able to explode the way they did, so I was glad to enjoy a little piece of this history last weekend. So, if you are looking for a fun and educational Provo activity, I would highly recommend taking a tour at the Crandall museum.
Let me know if you have heard of or experienced any other little Provo gems!

peace. love. and printing presses
