Most rare book collections can be seen but not touched. That’s not the case with the McCune Rare Book and Art Collection, which welcomes everyone with an interest in books to swing by and have a hand-on experience for themselves.

At McCune, anyone can come by and experience the feeling of holding a rare book right in the palms of their hands. Some items that you can come and examine include a page from an original 15th century French Illuminated manuscript, pages from early Chaucer books circa 1551 and 1561, as well as authentic leaves from early printings of plays by none other than Shakespeare himself.
