Visitor reviews
“Asked a local for directions and got a knowing laugh instead. Asked three officials about it and got three different answers.”
“Detoured here after reading the file number online. A must-see if you appreciate a strong beginning.”
“Brought out-of-town friends here before anywhere on the tourist map. It has more committees than it has purpose.”
