Discover Our Town’s Rich History
The Licensed Town Guides offer several specialized tours that showcase different aspects of our community’s fascinating past:
The Battlefield Tour
Immerse yourself in military history as guides take you through the actual battlefield sites. Walk the same ground where soldiers once stood, see the strategic vantage points that determined the outcome, and hear personal stories of courage that have been carefully preserved through diaries and letters.
Historic District Walking Tour
Stroll through our beautifully preserved downtown area where your guide will point out architectural details you might otherwise miss. Learn about the families who built these structures, the businesses that once thrived here, and how the community evolved over centuries.
Cemetery Tour
More fascinating than macabre, the cemetery tour reveals the interconnected stories of prominent citizens, tragic tales, and the artistry of historic grave markers. Your guide will help you decipher the symbolism and meaning behind different monuments.
Custom Tours
If you have specific interests in local history, genealogy, architecture, or other aspects of our community, the guides can create a personalized experience tailored to your curiosity.
Expert Knowledge at Your Service
What makes these tours exceptional is the guides’ comprehensive training and certification. Each Licensed Town Guide has completed extensive coursework in local history, architecture, and storytelling techniques. They bring primary source documents, historic photographs, and carefully researched anecdotes to enrich your understanding.
Perfect Complement to Your Stay
After a day of exploration with your Licensed Town Guide, return to the comfort of Battlefield Bed & Breakfast where you can reflect on your discoveries while relaxing in our gardens or enjoying evening refreshments by the fireplace. Many guests tell us that understanding the rich context of our town makes their stay infinitely more meaningful.
