Wisconsin Wagon
Company - Smell the sweet scent of freshly handcrafted wood. Get
about as close to Santa's Workshop as you can get because here is where
they make those Janesville Coaster Wagons and the many other solid wood
toys. The tour takes you by the craftsmen at work and you watch them
create these childhood fancies. After the tour you can visit the company
store and purchase, or order for delivery, a Janesville Coaster Wagon or
any of the wooden toys of your choice.
For information about tour schedules, etc., phone 1-608-754-0026.
Visit their web page at WisconsinWagons.
From the visitors' center (see

blocks north on Jackson to Wall Street and turn left. Go 2 more blocks
to the intersection of Academy Street. Turn right into Academy Street
(NOT Centerway Street which is US-51) and go 1 block to Laurel Avenue.
The Factory is at the corner (507 Laurel Avenue).
