    We went on the ghost tour. Our tour guide had a great personality and sense of humor. It was well worth the hour drive I did to get there! Great experience and lots of history. Highly recommend!

    We went on the tour with limited knowledge about historical mill towns. Kevin and Shant'e were a wealth of information. They really exceeded all of my expectations and gave us a fabulous tour of the town and were the most gracious of hosts.
