Trumpeters of Sedition: How the Printing Press Created a Revolution!

On Saturday June 28th at 1 pm, Gary Gregory, proprietor of the Printing Office of Edes & Gill, will talk about the role of the printing press in the American Revolution. Printed pamphlets, broadsides, and newspapers energized the revolution, and it was the printing press that produced the Declaration of Independence.

Gary will use his replica of an English Common Press, a wooden hand-press that now resides at the Museum of Printing, to demonstrate the technology in use at the time of the American Revolution.

Made possible by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism and the MA250 Commission

NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the date has been re-scheduled for June 28.
