The Gutenberg Press

The historic presses in the Crandall Historical Printing Museum have been used commercially and demonstrate the actual hands-on printing with the patrons assisting in the pulling of the press. Currently, no other museum in the world has a fully working authentic Gutenberg Press with a complete set of the actual movable type made in the same manner as in the 15th Century Gutenberg Print Shop and still used to create identical copies of that first printed Vulgate edition called today the Gutenberg Bible.
