My favorite part was walking along the river and listening about the bridge that moved to let barges pass through.

Enjoyable walking tour. Gives information on Eau Claire's past and present. Nice distance and can be done at your own pace.

Have taken the tour twice now and enjoyed it just as much the second time around. There is a lot of history and the walk is very pleasant as well. Love getting to know more about the "why's and how's" of a town existence.
