Tour guide Gene Ramsay will tell of the life and times of a number of Norcross area residents of years past, including:
•  Edward Buchanan, with his rags-to-riches to rags story at the beginning of the 20th century
•  The young boy shot down in a crossfire in the Civil War and others who survived the conflict and helped build the town and state
•  Former mayors who died early deaths due to tuberculosis in one case and a shotgun in another
•  Beloved teachers, including the Vermont native who ran a Norcross high school for many years, and a music teacher with high standards
•  Major league baseball players who are still record-holders today (though not of records one might really want)
•  Citizens who built some of the stately homes that give the City its historic character and many others
