Fans of the hit Broadway musical Come From Away are flocking to Gander to see where the story began.

According to VOCM, Beyond Words Tour, launched by the North Atlantic Aviation Museum, will give fans the best opportunity to see the most of the town, including the community, airport, and the locations where the stranded passengers stayed during 9/11.

Leaving the museum Tuesdays-Saturday at 1 pm, tour coordinator Abby Moss says this tour has been a big hit since the show landed on Broadway, with many changing their yearly vacation plans to a trip to Gander. Tour stops include the CNA, visits with notable locals, and the Town Hall.
