Our guide, Bruce R, proved to be a witty scholar and talented, perceptive, kind educator. Our three+ hours on tour were as good as a Broadway performance (think “Hamilton” with Mark Rylance in the lead). My 10 year old grandson, a history buff, was engaged the entire time, as were the adults in our group. On a very serious note, let me emphasis how much this tour deepened my gratitude for the Grace that abounded in the Founding of our Nation, reflected by our guide in all of his perceptive rendition of our history, and his impressive recitation of important selections from our Founders written documents.
