Click. Clack. Ding! Let’s talk typewriters. Join the American Writers Museum's resident typewriter expert Christopher on a virtual tour of the museum's special exhibit Tools of the Trade.
Go behind the glass of the Tools of the Trade exhibit with the American Writers Museum's Director of Operations, Christopher Burrow and learn more about the tools used to craft some of your favorite American literature, from Frederick Douglass’s inkwell to Maya Angelou’s typer to Helen Keller’s braille writer and more.
Christopher will take out some of his favorite typewriters from his own collection, talk about them, show you how they work, and field some questions. If you’ve never seen a typewriter in action before or want to take a trip down memory lane, then this is the tour for you. Kids love typewriters too! Watch the magic in your family’s eyes as they hear the click-clack of the machine while you tell them how hard you had it back in the day.
