Great tour with a lot of interesting stories. I actually learned a few things myself. We had the largest group ever for this tour but everyone was able to hear the stories fine.

Rick was our guide and did a great job. The tour route was pretty easy and the various buildings and sites were coincidentally in close proximity to each other Rick's info and patter was concise, interesting, and with a touch of New Englander dry humor.
