*Attention
Teaching Professionals:
In scheduling tours for this school season, we have come
to realize that an essential part of the Ohio Grade 4 curriculum
includes learning about what is involved in the production of
goods and services that people use. The factors of production
include land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. American
Whistle is an ideal place for students to see these first-hand.
We welcome teachers and students of all ages to experience our
factory.
