Museum of the Alphabet

The Museum of the Alphabet traces the history of alphabets and other writing-systems from the beginning to the present. The world's writing-systems are artistically unfolded, as both ancient and modern alphabet-makers are high-lighted in the picturesque settings of the museum displays.

The Museum of the Alphabet was proposed by William Cameron Townsend, founder of the Summer Institute of Linguistics. His purpose in such a museum was to focus on the gift of written language.

Location: Box 248, Davis Rd, Waxhaw North Carolina 28173 Telephone 704-843-6066 Fax 704-843-6200
