This beautiful historic building is a must see. It has a rich history and has been beautifully cared for and mostly restored, a work still in progress. You should call ahead to make sure someone will be there for tours. We arrived just before noon on a Thursday and it was closed. but it just so happened Paula B was in the building and gave us a thoroughly enjoyable tour. There isn't space here to talk about all of the interesting sights and stories so I'll just say you need to see and hear them for yourself.

This location was another one on our must visit list, it used to be a hospital back in the day. Beautiful location and building, full of History. We were not able to take the tour due to arriving late, but we will definitely return.

This place used to be a hospital and has been partially renovated and updated where artists hang their work. There is a $10 per person admission fee but it truly isn't worth it. The docent does guide you around the three story building and relates some interesting facts.
