The doors to the Captain Johnson House open tomorrow, 10/3, at 9:00 am. If you don’t have your tickets yet, do buy them now. Several times are almost completely full but we still have openings.

I got a sneak peak last night so we can prepare for the tours and the space is amazing. The high ceilings, the woodwork, and the many quirks. Some secrets? Find out this weekend. dna.wildapricot.org/house-tour-tickets
