I believe that the Louisville Slugger Museum falls into this category, being
owned by Hillerich and Bradsby.  They, naturally, concentrate on the
baseball bat and include a factory tour as part of the experience.  The
Director is Bill Williams.  The Education and Programs Director is Mika
Patton.  The address is 800 West Main Street, Lousiville, KY  40202.  Mika's
direct line is (502) 588-7325.   If they have e-mail access I am not aware
of it.
