Hi Families!
The Whistle Factory Tour is just around the corner, Monday, March 3rd!
What to Expect – See the factors of production* beginning with the process of manufacturing a whistle from raw material to shipping packaged product to our customers. View mechanical engineering at work in one-of-a-kind machines designed and built specifically for our exact manufacturing needs. Learn who buys whistles and why, and how a commonplace – yet fundamental – product is successfully marketed. The tour is about 45 minutes and will concludes with a whistle!!
Our Gift Shop Our gift shop is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am 5:00 pm. Items such as additional whistles, lanyards or rubber Safe-T-TipsTM for your whistle, Award Whistles, T-shirts, mugs, magnets etc. can be purchased for prices ranging from $1 to $60.
Attention Teachers: We have come to realize that an essential part of the Ohio Grade 4 curriculum includes learning about what is involved in the production of goods and services that people use. The factors of production include land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. American Whistle is an ideal place for students to see these first-hand. We welcome teachers and students of all ages to experience our factory.
