Pre-registration is requested – please email [email protected], or call the KURC at 484-544-5070 and leave your name and the number in the party attending the tour.
The tour will start from the Willow and East State Street parking lot in downtown Kennett Square. Free parking is available in the lot at the corner of Willow and E. State Street. Small group guided tours will leave every 10-15 minutes and should last about 40 minutes.
