If you’re into music or woodworking or just appreciate craftsmanship, the Martin guitar factory in Nazareth, PA is amazing. Yes, I know it isn’t in NJ but it isn’t far. (Edited to include a link).

This is a great suggestion, definitely going to take my dad there for his birthday next month. Thanks!

I went there with my dad for his birthday! I hope the tour is still as good as it used to be (we went pre-COVID). The tour was led by a 30+ year veteran of the factory, and we got to walk right among the work benches and talk to people who were in the middle of making instruments. At the end of the tour everybody got one of the round pieces of wood they cut out to make the sound holes, with the Martin logo burned onto it.
We were able to just walk in, but it looks like you have to pre-register now.

It's been 10 years since I've taken the tour. But, it was awesome being able to walk through the production floor and stand feet away from the folks making the guitars.
