The Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind features the contributions of those, both blind and sighted, who made the world a more accessible place. We work, every day, to erase barriers and promote tolerance and fairness.
A museum dedicated to ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Symposium
Hidden Legacies of Helen Keller
September 17–18, 2022
Everyone thinks they know Helen Keller’s story. But Keller—an author, activist, fundraiser, advocate, sister, daughter, ambassador, friend, celebrity, and champion of women, people with disabilities and those living in poverty around the globe—defies easy description. Join the American Printing House and our co-sponsor The Filson Historical Society for a two-day symposium that will explore the hidden historical legacy and context of this great American. Conference registration is now open!

Walking through our museum or watching braille books and Talking Books in production, you’ll gain a new appreciation for how we serve people who are blind or visually impaired. Individuals, families, and groups are all welcome.
Events
Learn about blindness and the capabilities of people who are blind.
We host a wide range of events and workshops for children and adults — history, theater, crafts, and everything in between.
Traveling Exhibits
The best stories are true stories.
“Like a child in a strange country” is how Helen Keller’s teacher described the first two years of Helen’s formal education. “Child in a Strange Country” is a fully accessible traveling exhibit designed for small museums, library galleries, and blindness agencies.
