Our tour guide Libby was great. She shared lots of local history in a funny and interesting way. This was our first tour on our first visit to town and helped orient us to where things are. Libby also tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible, which is important because it gets really hot here!

Our tour guide, Libby, was just wonderful! She showed us everything we expected to see and some things that were unexpected. Libby used pictures to show us who she was referring to, or buildings, she referred to. Libby is a gifted tour guide and storyteller; we enjoyed every minute!

She was. too wrapped up in her story and boyfriend. We wanted to see blogs and houses. We stood in place too long at a time. She didn't mention Jackson As and it's history. Had a better your on the mile ride and better history lesson.
