I came for the tour with... - 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.

Wow! Fantastic experience! - One word for this experience - WOW! From the moment we arrived to the information center we were greeted with such warm hospitality. Our tour guide, Nancy, was so informative! She answered all of the questions that we had and more! After the 90 minutes we actually wanted more. The information was so interesting. Sanford has such a historic background and everyone should take this tour and learn all about it. Definitely recommend!
