Historical events that are generally unknown.. ex: a Goldrush in North Carolina! - Elizabeth really knows the history and back story of the stops on the tour. Easy walking access to the locations we saw. My grandson and I both enjoy history and it always helps to understand ... "the rest of the story" and the reason that caused a particular event to happen.
