Tours of the Simpson Spring Museum
At 11:00am and 1:00pm, take the family on a tour of the Simpson Spring Museum. Travel back in time in the Oldest Bottleing Plant in the Country! See remnants and artifacts from the factory's heyday as a bustling soda company in the 1930's and 40's. See the actual spring where all of our water comes from. Spend time in our Laboratory where the historic flavors you enjoy today were first created.
QUICK NOTE:
Can't get enough of Easton's History? The Easton Historical Society has artifacts that date back to 6000 B.C. from the Wampanoag Indians who lived here until the 1600's!
In the next weeks we will have even more Birthday events!
