| Dakota
Village, 11-Dec-2004. John and brothers
Mike and Tom work at the Dakota Village, a recreation of a village from the
early 20th century. (Late 19th century)? The village consists of
a handful of small buildings, including a post office, general store, church
and–of course–a print shop. Since John, Mike and Tom grew up working
in their father's print shop, they know nearly everything there is to know
about the old letterpresses, proof presses, and linotype machine that are on
display at the Village. |
