We celebrate the history, tools, and people binding books from the 1600s to the 1900s. See the machines that changed how books are made.
The American Bookbinders Museum is the only museum in North America dedicated to preserving and promoting the art and history of bookbinding. See how books were bound by hand until the 19th century; marvel at the first machines that automated bookbinding.
Once you visit, you will never look at a book the same again. Discover the Story of the Book.
The American Bookbinders Museum is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
