This newspaper has remained a publication of the White Corporation for over 100 years after W. A. White purchased it in 1895. Today the Gazette is operated by the fourth generation of the White family. The exterior of the building has been remodeled through the years, yet the character of the building and newspaper remain intact, and White's presence is still found within. Visitors are welcome to browse in a small museum of old newspaper equipment including a Linotype machine, hand-fed printing press, and samples of old comics.
