It's a vacuum museum set up inside with vacuums in rooms decorated like different decades, starting in 1900. It's kind of cool that they have the advertisements for the vacuums on the walls. I got to see a vacuum my grandma used when I was a kid.
We couldn't get a tour of the factory upstairs when we were there, but they do that when it's open.
