Welcome to Downtown Kissimmee!

Hi There Folks!
What do you mean you can't see my smile under my mustache!
Most folks think I look a little like Mark Twain. If you tell me that when you board, you'll be my friend for life!
Now it's a far piece we've traveled since the start of Kissimmee, but at the time when Miss Lillie and I came, it wasn't even called Kissimmee. We pioneers had plenty of hardships in the beginning and
things got tuff, but then we had our good times too................!
When Mr. Hamilton Disston brought me here
to..........well slap my knee and dance to a lively tune......... I'm suppose to be telling you this stuff on the tour and Miss Marva will get me if I start spoutin' off at the mouth telling you things
that need to be tellin' on the tour.
Let me at least give you a hint about some of my tales.. like the time I split my pants or if you think the gators are big now you should have seen them in my day! Especially the one that.....dog gone it,
I can't tell that one either except on the tour.
Come re-live my experiences on the Kissimmee River with me. You'll hear about my adventures, the famous people that traveled on my boats, how we helped build the town, dealt with the Indians and a heap
more tales about the cowhunters. Then we will head to the canal and the mill and visit downtown St. Cloud with its Veteran's history.
Come take a fun look at the history and
development of Kissimmee/St Cloud, its Downtowns, its pioneers and steamboat
waterfront along with the early settlement of the Osceola County
area. This tour has History mixed with tales, stories, fun facts and
more. Even the locals will get a kick out of this
tour........come and learn about where you live. If you are one of our valued
visitors, come see the flavor and charm of our 1880 quaint Historic Downtown Kissimmee. and St. Cloud. It's nice to get to know
the folks where you visit!
There are so many stories to tell, you will just have to come lots of times and hear them all. Miss Lillie of course has a lot of stories of her own and probably most about me! Whether you go with
her, one of the other lively characters or myself one thing is for sure, you're going to have a lot of laughs, experience new things, explore Downtown Kissimmee and just plain have a great time.
