Fresh and informative presentation - This was our second tour with Lonnie Sandifer, with our second grandchild to choose the historic triangle for his history vacation. His presentation was fresh, not canned, with new insights into the same sites. He answered any questions we had, then added details about the distinct differences in the way government functioned in the early years, as compared to today's standards. At the end of the tour, he directed us to a tour at William and Mary, which our grandson found very fascinating as well.
