Gift Shop - There is so much history from our company and building's past
that we wish to share it with everyone. The tour will not only provide
historical information, but will also include the opportunity to observe
the manufacturing of washboards, and participate in making music with the
washboard. The factory will operate daily, as usual, with our washboards
being produced one at a time by hand. We are the only manufacturer of
washboards remaining in the United States. Our gift shop features our
washboards, memorabilia and new line of vintage soaps. The Museum is a
WiFi hotspot and offers snacks and beverages, for a place to relax and
take care of business. Tours will be offered Monday through Friday at
10:00am, noon, and 2:00pm; Saturdays by appointment. Special arrangements
will be made for large groups. Museum hours are Monday through Friday
9:00am to 3:00pm and Saturday by appointment. Tours are $4 which includes
souvenir magnet. Columbus Washboard Factory, 14 Gallagher Ave, Logan; 740-380-3828
