Do you like to sing? Do you like Christmas traditions? Do you like history? Do you like Christmas music? If you answer "Yes" to any of these, this show is a must for you to see. Informative and entertaining, the best part is that it's interactive (if you want it to be). I absolutely recommend this great value. Thank you,... more

While in Harper's Ferry in October, we spent a morning with Rick for his O' Be Joyfull Tour and I think it was the best tour we have ever done. He is both knowledgeable and entertaining, covers everything from George Washington to the Civil War and more. You will hear details that are not in typical history reads. more

In September I asked Rick (O' Be Joyfull) if he could do a show for the residents of Green Acres nursing home in Gettysburg, PA. He immediately said yes. The average age of the folks at Green Acres is around 80 and not an easy group to get excited. It did not take to long for Rick to get his... more

Rick does a great job telling visitors all about the town of Harper's Ferry. He is knowledgeable and makes history come alive! more

On a recent trip to Harper's Ferry, we spent a few hours on Rick's walking tour. Even though it rained almost the entire time, it well worth it! Rick's knowledge and enthusiasm is great. There is no better way to learn about the history surrounding Harper's Ferry - highly recommended!! more

It was a rainy and chill day, and Rick kept 20 women fascinated with his knowledge of Harpers Ferry and his ability to impart that knowledge in a way that brings it to life. Our groups always find him to be a highlight of the trip there. more

We attended one of O' Be Joyfull's historical songs and stories shows and had a blast! We learned a lot about Civil War era past-times and culture and sang along with Rick on the choruses off the provided song sheets. It was a great way to not only learn about history, but to feel like you were partaking in it.... more

I did not get a chance to tour Harper's Ferry with Rick, however, I did his "Town Tour" in Gettysburg. It is easy to ignore the town itself, but much happened in town itself. Troops escaping from the first day, hiding in houses, snipers, and later, many wounded left i almost every house to be helped by townspeople. It is... more

Rick is a one of a kind - the enthusiasm for what he does and the tours he gives is so obvious, it draws you in to the history of Harpers Ferry. We looked around, found some ghost tours, then went on Tripadvisor on a whim, saw all the other great reviews, and said he must be worth a shot.... more
