DESCRIPTION:This open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing.

SUMMARY:Washington's Farewell to his Officers Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:On December 4\, 1783\, nine days after the last British soldiers left American soil\, General George Washington visited Fraunces Tavern. He invited his officers from the Continental Army to the Long Room to thank them for their service\, and to bid them farewell. After embracing each officer and wishing them well\, Washington left for Annapolis\, where he would resign his military commission before traveling on to Mount Vernon. The only first-hand account of this emotional goodbye comes from The Memoirs of Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge\, which Fraunces Tavern Museum has on display in the McEntee gallery on the 3rd floor of the Museum. There will be four reenactments (at 12:30pm\, 1p\, 2:45pm and 3:15pm) in the room where it happened.

SUMMARY:McSweeney's Quarterly Issue 80 Signing
DESCRIPTION:For its 80th issue\, the National Magazine Award–winning quarterly McSweeney’s presents a three-ring oversized-school-binder-inspired volume. Clipped into the rings are seven individual book art objects\, including: a grid-ruled sketchbook by Eisner winner Adrian Tomine; an accordion-shaped catalog of 12 flowers by Pulitzer Prize finalist Yiyun Li; a story in the form of an end-of-the-world Scantron questionnaire by Pip Adam; a crossword about being in (and out of) love by Chris Ames; a story by Guggenheim Fellow Lucy Corin in which the protagonist may\, or may not\, be able to eat their students; and a story by Brittany Newell in which the protagonist may\, or may not\, be in love with their dubiously credentialed couples therapist. Plus an excerpt from Kevin Moffett’s National Book Award–longlisted debut novel; the 2025 Stephen Dixon Award–winning story “My Son’s Name Is Not Cassava” by Akhim Alexis; a letter by PEN Translation Prize winner Katrina Dodson circling the unexpected twinned linguistic heritage of Portuguese and Vietnamese; and more letters by Anelise Chen\, Steven Dunn\, and Molly McGhee.

SUMMARY:Men at Work: The Empire State Building and the Untold Story of the Craftsmen who Built It
DESCRIPTION:his new book\, Men at Work: The Empire State Building and the Untold Story of the Craftsmen who Built It\, Glenn Kurtz re-examines the familiar story of the Empire State’s amazing construction from a perspective that has stumped previous researchers: the lives of workers who labored daily on the site. Taking the iconic photographs of Lewis W. Hine\, collected in his 1932 book Men at Work as a starting point\, Kurtz delved into archives\, period newspapers\, and corporate communications to retrieve the identities of the craftsmen that history has seen as “anonymous” symbols. Kurtz sets the Hine portraits in a new light: as specific documentation of the ordinary\, mostly immigrant\, men who built the world’s most famous skyscraper.
