I am so overwhelmed with the amount of people who came out for the town tour this afternoon! It was wonderful.

The two past tours were great with a mix of people from out of town. Today it was all Durhamites! This was the largest group so far.

Looking forward to more tours in 2027 with historical society open houses too.

Thank you to everyone who participated in all 3 Town Tours! -Sarah
