    Longaberger Baskets

        We discovered that we were in Longaberger Basket country, so decided to check it out.  They have something called the Longaberger Homestead–which is a terrific facility.  There’s a beautiful visitor’s center, huge building filled with shops, a big barn that’s original to the property and, most interesting of all, the production facility!  It’s 22 acres under one roof!

    There’s a fabulous cat walk that extends the entire length of the building with great interpretive panels.  We spent a long time walking along, watching the production below and reading the information.  

    Of course we had to get our photos in a basket.

    Here’s the barn.  It houses sale items and a cafe where we had a great lunch.

    Then we headed south to the Ohio River.  We passed several old barns that had remnant of Mail Pouch tobacco ads.
