Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A fascinating, fascinating look at history from various vantage points -- industrial heritage, enlightened economic development, creative entrepreneurship over generations, etc. etc. This is a venerable textile factory, wisely sited on a river and with machinery built to take advantage of water power, rescued and renovated and put back into thriving use by an amazing couple from the U.S. (who had also worked in China, learning textile methods there), in the 1950s. Over time Walter and Bundy Illsley's
children contributed to keeping the factory productive -- without compromising its 'Porfirian' (late 19th c.) style, part of the structure now houses a thriving events hall, but the factory still produces high-quality, colorful fabric for the hospitality industry and other institutional purposes, worldwide.

We had a Bible convention here and were able to enjoy the grounds for the day. It's an old fabric factory with a museum and a small shop. Some parts of the building still have adobe walls. I loved it.

The 1897 factory building itself is worth seeing even if you are not interested into textiles. It is like time stood still. Very little of the 1906 machinery is in use but it is still in place. The emphisis is on hand spun yarn, hand dyed and woven on old looms. There is also a wood working shop.
After your visit , warning you will not be able to resist purchasing a beautiful table cloth, be sure to see the newly opened river walk just a block away. It goes all the way up to the national park.

Interesante lugar que te remonta a otra época en la histopria de Uruapan. Tiene una pequeña sección donde se pueden comprar productos de buena calidad.
An interesting place which takes you back to a different time in Uruapan's history. The place has a small section where you can buy very good quality products.

This beautiful factory still produces yarn that can be easily dyed. Though most of the original machines are still, you can imagine hundreds of workers bustling around the lower level in days past. Upstairs was a marvelous exhibit by sculptor Javier MarÃn.
The owner told us her family's history with the building and then showed short films of the restoration of the building and how the artist made his sculptures. There are also beautiful handmade cloth items for sale, as well as cloth by the yard.
