Summary: There is so much to experience in this beautiful restored town which played such an important role in our nation’s early history. The characterizations of leading figures were so enjoyable, as were all the presentations. Each craftsperson was so knowledgeable and willing to converse. Transportation on the shuttles made it easy to explore. The museum is impressive. A wonderful experience!
