Great tour. Highly recommended

This tour was packed full of history and fun stories by a good storyteller. Ted was great! While it was a walking tour, almost all the stops had places to sit.

Fun and informational!

Brittani is very knowledgeable about the history and the area! She did a great job of explaining everything in a fun way! More historically aimed than supernatural but did get to hear some ghost stories and the history behind them!

Ghost tour

We had a great time with Andrea our tour guide. We learned things about some of our founders that we probably wouldn’t have learned any place else. Highly recommend.

Adult “backstory” tour is awesome

Absolutely love the evening tours with someone who loves history and can share the “backstory” pieces you don’t get with the traditional tours. Ted was a wonderful host and we would encourage adults who aren’t especially sensitive to adult topics or language to sign up for this one!
