"The Roy M. Chatters Newspaper and Printing Museum was originally dedicated to J.B. and Olga West on Palouse Day 1976. The Wests donated the building to the City of Palouse for use as a museum.
Mayor Michael Echanove and Bob West cut the ribbon to officially re-open the Museum to the public on Palouse Day 2003.
A local history section has been added to serve as a tribute to the community of Palouse for its support of the Museum renovation.
The Museum features a flat-bed printing press, Linotype machines, Chandler job presses and most everything once used to produce a newspaper. Some items date back to 1898. (
