U. S. Factory Tours; Made by U. S. Companies.

A relative of my husband’s loves to visit factories wherever she travels, especially those that are (1) free; and (2) offer product samples. These tours are an excellent marketing tool for these companies; plus it helps to support companies that make and produce items here in the U. S.


In middle school, one of our class trips was a tour of the candy company, Hershey Chocolate. They no longer have these, but instead have turned it into a ride, “Hershey’s Chocolate World,” located just outside the Hershey Amusement Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania. www.hersheys.com/chocolateworld/.

My husband, friends and I visited the Yuengling Brewery in April. A fun, short tour ending with a cup of free brew or soda. www.yuengling.com/breweries/pottsville.
We also enjoy a local cable network, “PCN Tours,” featuring local businesses and manufacturers in Pennsylvania: www.pcntv.com/shows_tours.html.
