This is a great tour! We love a little history so bringing us back to the late 1800’s via Equipment that are used for various things during that time is awesome. Our guide was Dottie Grace and she was very knowledgeable! Thank you!

The store is full of wonderful old gadgets. However, the first tour guide (Jeb) tried to talk in some kind of accented voice which made him very difficult to understand. When he would go back to his normal voice you could understand him, but we missed much of what was talked about in the first room because of his lack of clarity. The other two tour guides were very easy to understand and follow.

Orville, and Oliver did an outstanding job. My wife and I really enjoyed being taken back into history. A lot of history is preserved there and it's amazing to think how far we have come since the early 1900's.
