More fun than we imagined! - The seedier side of Arlington's past.
We just finished the tour at Top O'Hill Terrace. We were the only ones there at the time, so we were able to make choices on what parts to hear the edited part or hear "the rest of the story". We always chose the latter. The slides she shared were amazing and historical and lead her to show us the items that they had been gifted or purchased for special prices. As each part unfolded, we were amazed and in awe of hearing stories of famous people we'd heard about and the confirmation of these stories with recordings from family members or the people themselves. Well worth the time (minimum 2 hours) we were there for about 3 hours! It's a tour thru history and see how God guided the right people to the right places at the right time! Looking forward to coming back for the tour of the underground story! - Tracey and George G.

Gambling / Gangsters / Murders / Moonshine / Brothel / Vice Raids & Celebrities!
Absolutely Fantastic! This was the most enjoyable tour of a local historical attraction that I've ever taken. Although I'm a life-long resident of the area, Vickie Bryant imparted information that I never knew existed. Gambling / Gangsters / Murders / Moonshine / Brothel / Vice Raids / Famous Celebrities / Fire & Brimstone Preachers... This tour has it all... If only I could step back in time and experience such a fantastic place! It's definitely a visit to add to your 'bucket-list'! Note to City Of Arlington: Spend the money & uncover & develop the forgotten tunnels & rooms that still remain buried! .
