This adventure has three stops. The first stop should be to the town of Dresden, Ohio. This town is home to the,"World's largest market basket". The basket is in the town square and is about the size of a small trailer. The town of Dresden is very quaint with lovely shops, churches, an amazing playground by the local school and even an abandoned lock from the Erie Canal. In warmer months, the organist from the local Catholic church has a family stand that sells the most delicious kettle corn! Make sure you get some. Check out the town's website at http://www.basketvillageusa.com/.
Next head to the world's only building shaped like a basket. Located on the outskirts of Newark, Ohio it is a must see! The building is huge and visitors are welcomed inside by friendly workers who give glossy pictures to all and a smile as well. My kids thought it was really neat. This place is really lovely so make sure to keep heathen children well in hand. Before you leave take a family photo on the steps to commemorate the stop. I'm betting one of the sweet volunteers would take the picture. Visit http://www.longaberger.com/homeOfficeFacts.aspx to check it out.
To round out the adventure head over to the Longaberger Homestead in Frazeysburg, Ohio and check out the giant Apple basket. This is also where the factory is located. I am not sure about how appropriate the tour is for children as we did not go on the tour. (Please find out before you promise your little ones.) This area has shops and other activities that are open most of the year.
