Nye devotes an entire chapter to the discussion of factories and the industrial sublime. In this chapter, he mentions the advent of factory tours and their contribution to the American conception of the technological sublime.
I found a website which lists all the factory tours available today in the United States. This modern site is extremely patriotic. This seems to prove that Nye's description of factory tours as celebrations of American ingenuity continues through today.

If you don't have any spring break plans, why not tour a nearby factory and admire the American technological sublime?
