A 1891 bottling plant that was Dr Pepper's first franchise. There's a small museum of memorabilia, and tours of the plant, which only actually operates one day a month bottling sugar sodas other than Dr Pepper.

We visited the museum and took the tour. We learned that William P. "Bill" Kloster, affectionately known as "Mister Dr Pepper" inherited the Dublin Bottling Company from Grace Prim Lyon & operated it until his death September 27, 1999. The Dublin Bottling Company is the oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant in existence.
We enjoyed seeing all the memorabilia and making our own bottle of soda at the end of the tour.
