As you enter its iconic stone gates, narrators will share histories of the homes and their many prominent owners, including families such as the Rheinfranks, Bocks, Lamsons, France, Walbridge, and Hokes. The homes, many located on the Maumee River, featured unique elements like nine to twelve-foot ceilings, fur and silver faults, butler pantries, carriage houses, servant quarters, and greenhouses.

Trolley tours will depart from the Rossford Library and proceed to Eagle Point Colony. The trolley will drive through Eagle Point Colony and stop in front of 15-20 homes with narrators sharing historical information about each home. The trolley will stop in front of homes and then return to the Rossford Public Library when the tour is completed (about 45 minutes).
