Robert C. Williams Paper Museum

The Robert C. Williams Paper Museum displays over 100,000 artifacts including manuscripts, rare books, prints, hand tools, and industrial papermaking equipment through permanent exhibitions.

The museum collection demonstrates paper evolution from ancient writing materials to current manufacturing methods, incorporating global techniques and production methods from different civilizations.

The facility provides specialized educational programs, field trips, workshops, and guided tours for students, scouts, and adults, with activities aligned to specific age groups.
