Tom led us through the founding of the city, origins of Carpenters’ Hall and the Library Company, and other historical gatherings and uses for the building. We discussed the First Continental Congress, as well as lesser known stories of the bank robbery and restoration. The whiskey, scotch, and calvados tasting was a special ending to the tour - we asked many questions and discussed new dynamics of political and urban environments then and now. We very much enjoyed our time with Tom and Michael in such a beautiful and historical space. Highly recommend to both a visitor to the city and a local!
