"I think it's great to have these tours because, you see, we're getting quite a little crowd here now, and people do. They learn about the town and what's been here in the past, and there's just a lot of buildings uptown that people wouldn't believe all the things. We even had a couple of them that had speakeasies in and dance halls," says Karen Layman, Tour Guide.
