I just saw Young Frankenstein, the Musical. It was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. The performers were hysterically funny and had pretty great pipes to deliver the songs too. I laughed so hard throughout the entire production. Tickets are amazingly cheap in this current economy. See more..

- YOU HAVE TO DO THIS
Tuesday: 1:00 PM - 8:30 PM Ghost & Vampire Tours

My girlfriend and I had always thought the ghost shows in tv were interesting but could never decide together whether or not to believe it. When we stepped into their office and had a long conversation about what we would be doing and previous experiences my girlfriend and i got very excited and booked a tour... the first of many we have been to now. This group of investigators are amazing and use their deep knowledge to really create opportunities for any visitors to find the exact experience you're looking for. These tours are still a very frequently visited discussion between my girlfriend and I. The group really are a group of amazing people and I've really enjoyed listening to them tell stories of their experiences. They are very enthusiastic which makes the night so much more fun. TRY IT... you won't regret it for a second See more..
4.5 Christopher Taylor House (9 reviews)
- A wonderful summer experience!
Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks

As a Summer Intern in 1976, I dressed the part of a girl living in the Christopher Taylor House. The town historian, Mr. Paul Fink would visit with me and share many stories about the town's history. I loved meeting all the tourists that came to visit the beautiful town. Not until I was much older than 17 did I realize how wonderful it was to have been a part of it all! When I left at the end of the summer, Mr. Fink gave me a small clear box containing a picture of Christopher Taylor's house, a sliver of wood from the original house with a nail and a Buffalo nickel. I am 64 now and still treasure that little piece of history and the memory of the man that gave it to me! See more..
