We took the tour and it was very informative. I was born and raised in Eau Claire and learned things I wasn’t aware of. We are looking forward to taking another tour.

I have lived in the Chippewa Valley my entire life and found the tour very informative! Nearly all the historical information was new to me and very interesting. We did have an occurrence of lost auto play as we walked the route but it was super simple to manually advance the tour and then the auto playback took over again. Very enjoyable tour, would highly recommend.
