Attention all "Squished" Penny Collectors! Rosson House Souvenir pressed pennies are available. The penny press machine is located at the Rosson House Gift Shop.
Did you know people have been collecting "squished, rolled or pressed" pennies for over 100 years? Some of the first ones in the United States were for the Chicago World's Fair
in the 1890s. Start your own unique collection today! To order your own “squished penny” please send 51 cents per penny and a SASE. • Did you know that if you placed every Rosson House
keepsake penny that has been squished so far (that’s over 12,000) end to end around the actual historic Rosson House the line of pennies would go over five times around?!

souvenirs each keepsake "passport" album will hold up to 36 pressed pennies (approx. 3 1/4" x 6" when closed, pressed pennies not included)... $5.50 each.
Squished Penny Note Cards. Featuring a genuine Rosson House Pressed Penny with envelope (shown at right, each folded note card
approx. 4” x 6”)... $3.00 each.
