I had a private tour because I do not consent to the masking ritual being forced on me in violation of my constitutional and God given, self evident right to breathe the air in front of my face. I was initially upset when the first tour guide discriminated against me and disallowed me from joining the tour, but the manager set up a private tour with Leo who was awesome. God bless team humanity.

we visited the old country store this last weekend. Our tour guide was Jenevieve with a "J" and she was awesome. She was super entertaining and made the tour fun! we ran into her at the trolly depot the next day and remembered where we were from and she stood there and visited with us. I would recommend the tour to anyone in the area.

While our "tour guide" was knowledgeable of the script she had memorized, we would have liked to have seen more items than just those that were part of the tour. We had questions that made it difficult for our tour guide to stay on her script. Perhaps the price of admission is a little high for such a short tour. We did enjoy seeing the antique items and hearing about the original costs of each. We won't need to go back here in the future.
