"Generations of dairy farmers are proud to call Tillamook home," Shannon Lourenzo, with Tillamook County Creamery Association, said. "And now we're thrilled to be able to invite even more Tillamook supporters into our home."

The creamery was designed by a Seattle-based architect firm called Olson Kundig.

It's made up of around 100 farmer-owners and was first formed in 1909.

Tillamook makes cheese, ice cream, yogurt, sour cream and butter.
