Sips & Stories Happy Hour Tour

Discover The Factory at Franklin's rich history on a guided tour led by the venue's staff historian. Starting at The Skylight Bar, you'll spend about an hour exploring the indoor and outdoor spaces of this historic complex while learning about 96 years of community legacy. Everyone gets a drink voucher to redeem during the tour—choose from specialty cocktails, draft beers, house wines, well liquors, or soft drinks. Those 21 and older can enjoy alcoholic beverages with valid ID; a discounted tour-only ticket is available for designated drivers, younger guests, or anyone preferring to skip the beverage. The experience wraps up perfectly if you want to stick around for trivia night at The Skylight or grab dinner at one of the on-site restaurants. Plan to arrive 10 minutes early at The Skylight in the Grand Hall for check-in, and wear comfortable shoes since the tour includes both indoor and outdoor areas and happens rain or shine. Parking is available in the West Lot near the water tower (accessed via Franklin Road).
