Things to do in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range: The Best Specialty Museums

This museum illustrates the history of moveable type and contains the United State's only working replica of the printing press made by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s. We show how Gutenberg printed the Bible, how Ben Franklin printed in the 1700's, how the Book of Mormon was printed and bound in the 1800's and how the Deseret News was printed in the mid to late 1800's. We also show the Linotype machine of the early 1900's. All our presses have moveable type. We also have items for sale. We are a non-profit museum. Charge is $5 each.

The museum is a legacy left by my Paternal Grandmother Genoveva and her family for future generations to enjoy, say Fernando R. Gomez. The museum's collection is unique, inspiring, faith promoting, historical and uplifting. It preserves the most extensive collection of Latino Mormon artifacts.
