In the town of Strabane, Gray’s Print Museum contains a creative display of hand printing presses and equipment dating back to the 19th century. The museum commemorates the days when Strabane was the most important town in Ireland for the business of publishing.

Some of the exhibits focus on the connection to a group of Ulster-Americans, most famously John Dunlap, credited with founding Pennsylvania Packet, America’s first daily newspaper, and printing the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

In addition to pre-automated printing equipment, the museum offers educational audiovisual presentations and a relaxing country garden located on the grounds.
