Factory Tours on the Oregon Coast
The Oregon Coast region is well-known for the excellent opportunities it gives travelers to get out and experience nature. With flora and fauna in abundance, it's only appropriate that the region has factories that utilize its natural products - wood from the trees, and milk from the cows.
Located at just about the midpoint of Oregon's coastline, in South Florence, Lakeshore Myrtlewood carves beautiful items like clocks, bowls, trays, lighthouses, and unique wood boxes out of coastal hardwood. These durable pieces, featuring rich and unique grain patterns, make fine gifts that visitors can purchase as souvenirs once they finish touring the premises and learning about the woodworking process.
The Tillamook Cheese Factory is situated in the area further north, in North Tillamook, also along the state's coastline. You're guaranteed to learn a lot about the cheesemaking process on the free tour of this factory. In addition to hearing about the factory's history, you'll be treated to delicious aromas and tastes emanating from the factory's cheese, ice creams, and freshly-baked waffle cones.
Behind-the-scenes and factory tours are typically family-friendly activities good for a short and interesting diversion from a region's mainstream tourist activities. Often, visitors are given complimentary tastes and samples of a factory's products, like the ice creams and cheeses at Tillamook. Both factory tours in this region are free, but note that some tours have irregular hours and admission restrictions. Click on the individual icons for more practical information.
