We arrive home this evening, just in time to pack away our cowboy boots and Stetsons....that is, until it’s time to plan another great adventure with Legacy Tours!

Day Three: This just may prove to be your favorite day of the entire tour. Our first stop is in Spring Green, Wisconsin at the “House on the Rock!” Considered by many people to be the world’s most unusual house, it contains gardens, waterfalls, pools, trees, the world’s largest carousel and a collection of many music machines - all “inside the house!” Our next stop today is in the “Wisconsin Dells.” This afternoon we’ll take the famous Dells boat tour. We take the Upper Dells tour that makes three very special stops. Be ready to get some great pictures.
Day Four: This will be another travel day for us. We’ll head across Wisconsin and Michigan by way of Oshkosh, Green Bay and Menominee and round the north shore of Lake Michigan to Mackinaw City - our home for the next two nights.

Late this afternoon we travel to West Branch, Michigan for overnight.
Day Seven: We continue south this morning to Frankenmuth for a stop at Bonner’s Christmas World. After a chance to shop and sightsee here, we’ll travel to Southfield for an afternoon visit to the famous “Henry Ford Museum.” Covering over 14 acres under one roof, this musem contains planes, trains, automobiles and everything else imaginable. It is truly a cross section of American life. We will travel to Dayton, Ohio for overnight.
Day Eight: This morning will be yet another great highlight of our tour. We’ll visit the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton. It will amaze us to see some of the fighter planes and prototypes that the Air Force has on display. This afternoon we’ll depart Dayton and travel south to the “Queen City” of Cincinnati for overnight.

ABOUT US
After retiring from the corporate world, Eldora Elder wasn't ready to sit back and do nothing.
She began to serve as a tour director for Phil Toney of Toney Tours, one of the Carolina's premiere travel agencies.
When that company sold, Eldora founded Legacy Tours.
She met Ken Mayfield while on a church missions trip to Thailand in 2004. He asked her to help put together trips for their seniors. Around that time, she asked him to help out on some trips as a tour director as well.
Ken's background has been in radio where he built and managed several radio stations.
In 2019, Eldora invited Ken to partner in Legacy Tours.
