Lawrence Welk Birthplace

We had read that tours were only available Friday through Monday so made a special trip to arrive on time. It was Sunday and no one was around. We spoke with a gentleman who had also stopped, but had visited with folks in Strasburg as well. Apparently, the site doesn't get much traffic and the town can't get anyone to man the place regularly. Tours are still available, but call the number listed for a private tour. We could still wander the grounds and take photos. Still well kept up. [Sandy, 07/12/2010]
