Focus on the History of the Printing Press: An Upcoming Greeley House Children’s Educational Program

by

NY Tribune Printing Press-4

A new education program that the New Castle Historical Society & Horace Greeley House Museum will host on Sunday, September 27, 2015 ( 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.). This free, children’s education program will explore the fascinating history of the printing press and its great influence on society.

The program, which is co-sponsored by the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival (one of the largest children’s book festivals in the metropolitan region), will provide participants with the opportunity to learn about the history of the printing press, Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune, journal writing in the 19th century, and about Chappaqua’s many own children’s book authors.  Program participants will have the opportunity to see one of Greeley’s actual type stands, and to use mini-printing presses to make their own book pages to take home.
