This FREE open house event will introduce typewriter newbies to the old school technology, and typewriter aficionados can bring their own machines and socialize with like-minded “types”. Basics like how to change a ribbon and other typing tips will be offered throughout the afternoon and you’ll be able to use our many of our typewriters to test your typing technique. A typewriter specialist will be on site to evaluate your machine.
