Old Bag Factory, Goshen

1100 N. Chicago Avenue, Goshen

 

The Old Bag Factory is building reuse at its best, a former plant turned into a shopping center with antiques, cafes, and specialty shops.

 

Initially built as a soap factory in 1896, the site began producing containers of all kinds - from burlap sacks to paper used in Hershey's Kiss wrappers - from 1910-1982.
