Yes, the Schmidt Museum is in Elizabethtown, KY.
The family hasn't bottled since the late 90s. This museum *used* to be a part of the
actual bottling plant. You were able to get to the entrance by walking along a catwalk above
the bottling floor as the work was being done.
There is 2 decappers on display. I think the plaque mentions that it takes 16 steps to
work to open a bottle and fill the cup. There is also a huge machine that vended whole
6packs (cans). I assume it was dispensed boxed?
Definately worth $5. You should prepare to spend several hours.

It's Elizabethtown, I've been there a couple of times. My brother lives near Louisville and I try to stop on and check out the museum whenever I am in town.

Thanks for sharing the photos.
