The Mackenzie Printery & Newspaper Museum, situated in Queenston, Ontario, is a unique attraction housed in the former residence of William Lyon Mackenzie. In 1824, Mackenzie established The Colonial Advocate newspaper in this very building, using it as a platform to challenge political corruption and enlighten the public. Today, the site is operated by the Niagara Parks Commission, offering guided tours led by knowledgeable staff during the summer months.
Visitors flock from all corners of the globe to explore the rich history of printing technology spanning over five centuries at the Mackenzie Printery. Open seasonally from May to October, the museum welcomes guests daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., allowing them to immerse themselves in the evolution of print media. Additionally, volunteers from the Mackenzie Print Group gather weekly to preserve equipment and enhance educational experiences at the museum.
