John Powell was a great guide - very knowledgeable with lots of interesting anecdotes and stories about the construction. We very much appreciate that he took us to the new building and told us about the construction, acoustics and shared info about how the church financed all the work including how the members hauled stone. We were particularly interested since we are UU members in Black Mt (near Asheville), NC.

We were unable to take the tour because we could not find a space to park our motor home near the church. Construction in the area obstructed our view of the parking lot behind the church. We tried to contact the Meeting House 15 minutes prior to our scheduled to let them know our location and dilemma - but no one answered the phone. When we finally did receive a phone call - we had already departed the city of Madison. We asked to reschedule to the following day but was told that was not possible. We did however drive back the following day and take pictures of the Meeting House from the outside.

Ann Marie, our guide, was excellent. We know quite a bit about FLW, and she gave us new information. Personable, organized, and thorough in her presentation.

Ian was very well informed. He welcomed our questions. He was obviously passionate about the subject matter. Thank you.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the structure and also provided an excellent history of Unitarian-Universalism. He gave us enough time to really look at every area and gave us some nice information while we were waiting for the service to end to start the tour. I would recommend it to others.
