Excellent, knowledgeable and thoughtful guide - We joined Josh on a Friday afternoon tour. He was very thoughtful in reaching out ahead of time given the weather was going to be bad the following day when our tour was originally scheduled. We adjusted our schedule to join and were so glad we did. The 2 hour tour covers so much history and Josh adds just the right amount of personal touch and recommendations. The group all enjoyed the time spent and we recommend this tour greatly.

General town history,... - General town history, digging 6 feet down to set the stone pathways… as the town did not have the equipment to cut the stones. Slippery as all get out! … in winter
