All tours start at Landmark Booksellers, 114 E Main St. Your guide will be easy to find there, wearing a FWT shirt or name tag.
Our tours go rain or shine, cancelling only for dangerous conditions. This would be lightning (in the historic district itself), temps below freezing, or a tornado. This is rare, but should it happen, your tickets will be refunded completely. Guides generally have umbrellas to share, if needed. Be sure to call ahead and call dibs on yours!
