| The Vicksburg Historic Village includes a newspaper print shop, set up as it would have looked early in the century, commemorating the Vicksburg Commercial's long history (see the history section below the print shop section). The print shop was used to print the Commercial newspaper as well as general business print jobs. The printing equipment dates from pre World War I times, and even earlier. The equipment constitutes an old-time letterpress print shop that cannot be found outside museums or a few private collections The equipment functions and is demonstrated by master printer Mason Bishop, long a printer at the Commercial. |
