The Panama City Publishing Company Museum

Very interesting place for whom like history and the industry machines..it's free and volunteer people were so friendly and helpful..thanks

I recently visited the Panama City Publishing Company at 1134 Beck Ave, in Panama City, FL. While visiting the downtown area I found this very interesting working museum all about publishing. I took a guided tour through the entire process of publishing, the history of publishing in the area and it's owners. It was well worth the time to learn and see the actual machines that were used.

This museum is truly authentic from the original building to the historic equipment. The staff runs the working antique equipment and loves to demonstrate how they used it to create the products they provided. Great hidden gem we discovered while waiting for friends to have dinner across the parking lot.

The printing presses & all the different fonts/types of lettering are very cool & the volunteers do an excellent job of explaining/demonstrating how it all works. Everyone is friendly & knowledgeable too. Check them out next time you're in S. Andrews.

My family visited this evening and had a wonderful time! Lisa was very informative, kind, and helpful! It was so nice to learn such great local history and it was free! They sell items that are printed in house like coasters, cards, and buttons that are very cool souvenirs!
