Factory Tours

Inspired by the list found here, we're going to try to compile a list of local factories who give tours to the public. My boys, in particular, love the book Curious George Goes to a Chocolate Factory, so I am hoping to get them to at least one of the local food factories, and I will update the posting when I do!

This list will (hopefully) continue to grow as we discover more tours available in the area. If you know of one that you don't see listed here, please let us know about it!
