I would visit the ROM plywood plant in LeMoyen before it shut down years ago.

I used to work there when I was younger. What in the world made you want to visit the plant?

I believe it is still running. ROM shut it down but another company bought it and re-opened it. I think some outfit out of Texas purchased it.

I will say, when I worked there, the one really interesting thing to watch in action was the OSB press machine. It used heat and wax and would compress several trays of press-wood material that were several inches thick into a single 1/2 or 3/4 inch OSB sheet.
