Summary:
Another great experience with this tour company! Again, great way to learn about local history when you’re from out of town, and get to see some sites that you normally would not see or think that there’s any historic significance to. As always, Jason did a great job of interpreting the local history and telling some great stories. Even in between locations, we got to hear stories and learn about historical events that took place at various locations as well. Highly recommend this tour company, look forward to seeing more “haunts” next year!
