Bird, an elementary school teacher for South Harrison and church musician at First Baptist in Woodstown, moonlights as a well-read historian and exceptional storyteller. The tour impressed us all, learning about the founders of our country, the impact of the Yellow Fever pandemic in the 1790s on medical science, the First and Second National Banks, and the fascinating lore of Old City.
