"Very cool spot. Reminds me of some ancient ruins in another country. But, a modern predecessor of our age. Worth a visit and a walk around. Be sure to read the interpretative board in the parking lot to,understand the parts of the operation."
"Great find! Very interesting piece of history, glad this area is a park and being preserved. Walking paths along the ovens allows you to look inside, see them closely and take in the history of the area. Nice trail for walking. Amble parking."
"Smaller than it seems but very interesting to see. Got to see some small unique shops along the way which made the hour drive well worth it."
