校長夢工廠是一個見證台灣人極度重視教育及自我提身的地方。花蓮的鳳林可是孕育出全台最多校長的鄉鎮！在校長夢工廠裡，提供遊客和當地人一個教育學習的場所，在這裡每一個導覽員都是由退休的校長來服務。當您訪問學校校長夢工廠，你會被覺得驚訝，這裡怎麼像一個校舍？事實上，它曾經是日治時期的官方建築，因此看起來很稍微華麗。在這裡退休的校長會為你導覽，向你介紹周遭的村落及建築的歷史。
除了參觀校長夢工廠之外，別忘了要順便逛逛村莊的其他地方。鳳林是花蓮客家庄的大本營，早期從新竹與苗栗山區爬山越嶺到花蓮來開墾。這裡有著非常豐富的多元文化，對於不同的地方來的人都只展現了極大的寬容。而鎮上的人，無論他們是原住民、客家人還是外省人，他們都至少會說兩種語言，也許是客家話、國語、閩南語或原住民語言。這是一個相當奇特卻有極為可愛的地方，下次來到花蓮記得要順便來這裡看看喔！
