Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Prepare to be educated and delighted with this walking production, which “is never quite the same!”
Tours will be conducted Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 1:30 p.m. and will depart from the Courthouse Gallery at High and Court Streets. Tours will continue through December 31 – including Christmas Day.
Ticket prices are as follows: General Admission - $10.00 Senior (62+) and Military / two for $15.00 Children 8 and younger – FREE but not advised.
