    Gray's Printing Press in Strabane, Northern Ireland, offers visitors a glimpse into the history of printing and publishing. The museum is housed in the former premises of the Gray family's printing business, which operated from the late 18th to the early 20th century. Visitors can see restored printing equipment and learn about the printing process used in that era. The museum highlights the significance of the Gray family in publishing, particularly their connection to John Dunlap, who printed the American Declaration of Independence.
