In honor of the late Jim Ludwig, who originally
designed this one-of-a-kind experience, we are
once again offering the popular tour. Ranging

serious, we will see a surprisingly rich and varied

we’ll drive by dozens, stop at a few, and hear some
history and anecdotes about treasures of the
community.
