Come Spring Tour (back)

The historical novel "Come Spring", written by Ben Ames Williams, describes the life of the first settlers of Union during the Revolutionary War.  Their primary means of travel was by water.  The tour follows these waterways and includes a narrated history of Union.  Your guide has worked with the Union Historical Society in creating this tour.  It includes the sites of the first log cabins and mill in Union among the wildlife described above.  The full-day tour has visits to more sites and includes more detail.

The tour may motivate you to read "Come Spring".  Better yet, read the novel first and let the tour bring the book alive!
