As you wind through the streets of Cambridge, a costumed guide will share the history of the area beginning with the time pioneers of the Guernsey Isle in the English Channel settled here. Many interesting facts of Cambridge will be shared:

Our post office is the official John Glenn Post Office, dedicated in 2008 by John himself because that is where he says his career started when he signed up for military service right after Pearl Harbor.
The Col. Taylor Inn was built so that Col. Taylor could demolish his old house and build the Berwick Hotel on the site where he used to live.
The first train to arrive in Cambridge came from Zanesville in 1854 through the then-newly-built tunnel in Tunnel Hill.

Running to the window, he opened it, and put out his head. No fog, no mist; clear, bright, jovial, stirring, cold; cold, piping for the blood to dance to; Golden sunlight; Heavenly sky; sweet fresh air, merry bells. Oh, glorious. Glorious
-- Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
