Route 11 Potato Chips lets visitors watch the kettle-fry line through big factory windows in Mount Jackson, free, Monday through Saturday mornings. It’s a quick, distinctive, kid-friendly stop that costs nothing and exists nowhere else in the region.

The real reason to go — watching the line run — only happens 9am to noon; the shop stays open later, but there’s nothing to watch after that. There’s no scheduled walk-through tour, and the line isn’t guaranteed to be running even within that window. Call ahead. Closed Sundays.
