Marshfield Sun Printing Museum

Admission: Free, donations welcome
The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum is a unique turn-of-the-century newspaper office and job printing shop that features displays of antique printing presses and newspaper and photo-related exhibits.
This five-sided building contains all of the type cases and printing equipment used by The Marshfield Sun Newspaper, a weekly that began publication in 1891 and continued until 1944. At that time it was the oldest newspaper in Oregon continuously published by one editor.
The museum also exhibits photographs of early Marshfield (now called Coos Bay) working waterfront and river based-transportation.
