The Old Bag Factory

We went to an area in Goshen called The Old Bag Factory. It's located at the site of a factory that originally produced flour, onion, potato, and other types of cloth and mesh bags. The factory closed in the 1980's and a developer converted the buildings and grounds into a shopping area, which has now become a "destination".



The grounds include very attractive landscaping and beautiful flower gardens as well as several historic buildings, one of which is a "historic" log cabin, and there is a very nice brick walkway between the buildings. The brick is laid between old railroad tracks and forms a very unusual walkway.

















One of the buildings is the original power plant for the bag factory and has an old tall brick chimney still standing.


















Inside the original Old Bag Factory building is a number of very attractive shops and restaurants in an open mall layout. We had lunch at the Trolley Cafe, which was one of Carole's favorites when she lived here. She's pictured below right in the Trolley Cafe.

















We really enjoyed our afternoon at The Old Bag Factory. It's a very attractive and fascinating place . . . a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon.
