Anyone who knows us knows that we religiously cook with Cast Iron. There is a cast iron pan that has a permanent place on the stove at home. We also have a variety of cast iron that travel with us for cooking on the road.
Our research suggested that the Lodge Cast Iron Factory Museum was dog friendly. Nevertheless, we still double checked with the lady who greeted us. She was most excited to see the dogs and welcomed us to shop the Factory Store and visit the museum.
The museum was an entertaining journey. It told how Cast Iron is made and how Cast Iron is recycled. It also displayed Cast Iron in many forms including trinkets and toys. You can also see the world’s largest Cast Iron Pan on display.
Sam took special interest in the Man Behind the Iron; an exhibit showing the smelting process of Cast Iron.
Sam was really happy to see the cast iron over the campfire. He knows at camp that means a good meal is coming his way.
Next door to the Lodge Factory Store and Museum is Big Bad Breakfast. The dogs were welcomed in the outdoor patio dining space with pans of water. The waitstaff were amazing and treated the entire DILDO pack kindly. They even split the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy we ordered the dogs into two separate dishes.
The Lodge Factory store and Museum was an interesting look at the past and present. Cast Iron dates back to the 15th Century and beyond. It has been used for keys, water pipes, and many other things. Today it still has a variety of uses with one of the most common being in cookware.
We strongly recommend the Lodge Factory Store and Museum. There’s much to see and you can get some good deals on Cast Iron pieces to add to your collection. I got an 8 inch pan for $4.99.
