Are there comprehensive websites dedicated to industrial tourism? I've been on a lot of excellent factory tours but rarely think to look for more when I'm in an area.
I remember photographing inside a potato processing plant that had a multimillion dollar automated grading line that was quite amazing to see in action. Workers there seemed shocked when I said that there'd be people who would pay decent money to go behind the scenes. Even the non-automated lines were interesting enough!
The Martin Guitar factory tour in Nazareth, PA is awesome. They really get into every detail of how they make them & you can see pretty much every step of the process. All the gear, all the manual inlays, etc. If you ever find yourself in nearby Bethlehem or Allentown, it's worth the drive.
Yes I'd love if there were a site to help find these. There's a show called How It's Made that I really enjoy and such tours would be like in-person versions of the show.
