Lovely Walk Along Main Street - The Historical Foundation tour was a pleasant 45 minute stroll along Main Street. There was so much history packed into such a small area. Our tour guide, Bob, was extremely knowledgeable and able to go off script to answer detailed questions from my history buff husband. The tour is the perfect length to orient you to the area, then allow you to stroll back along Main Street for a nice lunch and quaint shopping. We highly recommend it!

Engaging Walkabout - Wow! Kristin has an encyclopedic knowledge of Lititz, its history, and people. She knew more about our Lititz ancestors than we did! If there was a script it wasn't obvious. This wasn't a lecture. Very unpretentious, genial, and interactive. She had an engaging and fun way of sharing Lititz history 101. Then she had additional details and anecdotes about whatever piqued our interest. It felt like a casual personalized hometown walkabout with a very knowledgeable family member.
