This is the spot.
It is the home of Velvet Ice Cream, a product that is sold throughout Ohio. It's about an hour northeast of Columbus, and located in a pleasant country setting.
The big attraction is the chance to see ice cream made. They have factory tours from May to October; be sure to check the website for times and dates. About 150,000 people turn up here for an education in the making of this traditional summer treat,
The rest of the complex centers on this converted mill. There's a big ice cream parlor at the bottom, and it is next to a gift shop. Some old machinery is on display on the grounds, and a room is dedicated to telling the company's story through a video and displays. It's in a park-like setting, complete with a grove of trees and some birds. You can even take a walk on a nature trail.
Supposedly the facility does host weddings. You wonder if ice cream must be served with wedding cake at such functions.
