The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The tour was entertaining. The guide answered questions at the stopping points and also as we walked along our journey. The full moon added to the experience. We enjoyed it so much, we joined the Ghost Hunting Tour that followed our walk. The meeting place was also easy to find and there is parking across the street.

Not quite as family friendly as I anticipated. Learned more about Kristy and her personal life as well as the “paranormal community” than about history. We also stayed put a bit too long, I thought there would be more walking, not just ½ a block and back.
