Summer Afternoons at the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum Looking for something a little different to explore this summer? Why are capital letters called “upper case” and other letters called “lower case”? See for yourself at the Marshfield Sun! Every Tuesday through Saturday summer afternoon you can visit The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum to see and learn about the antique printing presses and other fascinating equipment. Skilled volunteers are always on hand to interpret and demonstrate how the various equipment works, as well as to answer questions about the Museum’s exhibits on printing and office technology. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum is a unique printing museum located in that building at the north end of Front Street on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The unusually shaped building was built as the home for the Marshfield Sun newspaper and print shop in 1911. The Marshfield Sun was a working newspaper office and print shop from 1891 to 1944-and is today essentially as it was left in 1944, with additional exhibits upstairs and on the walls. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum’s regular summer hours begin the day after Memorial Day: 1pm - 4pm Tuesday through Saturday; Memorial Day through Labor Day. Admission is free. Call 541-267-4027 for more information. Source: South Coast Shopper #CoosComNews
