The last Sunday June 28th will be a Historic Home Tour. So be sure to be there early as seats will fill up.

    This was one of the best Sunday afternoons we have had. We certainly enjoyed Mary and her knowledge of the history. Rodney also made it very fun. We are going again to hear more stories.

    The trolley ride is so fun! It's not only entertaining but also educational, with Mary Long the local historian and comedian giving us a history lesson on Lawrenceville as we tour the beautiful town. I've ridden the trolley twice and will be trying to make it on the last tour on June 28th. I'm proud to be a part of Lawrenceville, it's a fantastic town!
