The Goldsmith Press & Rare Type Collection is a unique letterpress facility that includes thousands of hand-carved wood letters and antique printing presses. Established as an interdisciplinary print studio on the campus of Austin Peay, the Goldsmith Press encourages the university community and the citizens of Clarksville to write, print, and make public their individual stories.
