    More standing than...

    More standing than walking, but explanations were great as was the use of the guide's tablet to show photos of the buildings " before"

    We love our Sanford history! Thank you for joining.

    I came for the tour with...

    Gulnara_S, Mar 2024
    I came for the tour with my two children. The tour guide Nancy was very knowledgeable. She provided a lot of details about each place we visited. The unexpected part of our experience: the theater building was closed that day due to the festival in the town. One of the community members opened it for us and showed us inside. He told us a story about ghosts of the theater. Another unexpected part of the tour: when we walked close to Masonic Lodge, members of the lodge invited us inside the building. Overall, my family had a wonderful time.
