He started with a very succinct history of the township, which provided the necessary background information for the rest of the tour. Then he continued to provide more context and details as we walked the streets where important historical events occurred. As a local, he was able to enhance the tour with his own personal experience. It was obvious he was well known and respected as we explored the neighborhood with him. It felt like we were being shown around by a very smart and informed friend rather than a tour guide. Highly recommend…”
