Point. Click. Explore.

Each ArmchairTour contains an entire historic district on CD-ROM - with information, photos, and architectural descriptions for every site in the district.

A great travel planner, and the ultimate souvenir

An ArmchairTour is indispensable as a travel planner - you can preview all the bed & breakfasts in the historic district, for example - and it makes a great memento or gift.

  • Explore over a thousand sites in the historic district with the clickable map - every house, park, church, inn, and tourism-related business.

  • Unique "Free Explore" interface enables you to "walk" up and down the streets and experience the sights and sounds as if you were there.

  • Interior tours of some of the historic district's most famous houses, churches, and buildings.

  • Complete architectural descriptions of every site, plus hundreds of "site histories."

  • Interactive historical timelines highlight the cultural, political, and economic history; there's even a timeline for disasters and calamities.

  • A "meet the locals" activity where you can learn what it is like to be a native.
