The Saturn Welcome Center is very close to the plant and serves as a meeting place for all the factory tour groups.  While there, you can visit the Saturn store, view many different types of exhibits, take a look at Saturn ads & magazine reviews, watch short videos, and take a look at a lot of other interesting stuff.

 

The Welcome Center gives the look and feel of being on a farm - there is even a barn right next door.

The Saturn Plant Tour

Unfortunately, cameras weren't allowed on the plant tour.  These are some postcards I bought in the Welcome Center's gift shop.

Luckily, the GM strike had not yet affected plant operations and we were able to see production in action.

Our tour was a bit more detailed than the normal visitor or car club tour.  We got to see many different areas of the plant and witness quite a bit of the assembly & production process.  The detailed explanation lost foam casting and how the engines are made was one of the more interesting points of our tour.
