As the sky began to darken on that August evening, we used lanterns to light our way through the old historic district as we encountered those characters from the past.\u00a0 The sold out tour, which had a crowd of over 100-people, continues to receive lots of positive feedback\u00a0from patrons on the popular stroll.\u00a0 Some were introduced to a new chapter in\u00a0past, while for others the theatrical approach captivated them.
