An icon of Strabane's 18th-century reputation as Ireland's capital of publishing.

Set behind a restored 18th Century shop font, Gray's looks like any other shop front. However, behind its elegant facade is the fascinating story of ink, galleys, presses and emigration, as this is where John Dunlap, printer of the American Declaration of Independence, and James Wilson, grandfather of President Woodrow Wilson, are said to have learned their trade.

A fascinating collection of 19th Century presses is displayed in the print room, while an audio-visual presentation of the history of printing in the Strabane area and its impact on world affairs, will also hold your attention.
