Rick took us on a History and Haunts tour on October 30th as part of our wedding trip. We had a fantastic time, and Rick told us some really great stories about the town. He is really knowledgeable, personable, and funny. Such a great host. He even paid attention to the fact that we had a teen with us and made her feel welcome, too. We had a fantastic time, and wish the tour had been longer!
