The tour is utilizing a free online platform, theclio.com, for each building’s post. Each tour stop will have a sign in the storefront window with the historic tour logo and QR code that will take the viewer directly to the listing on theclio.com. You can also access the tour by visiting theclio.com and search by city or the title of the tour. We continue to work with building owners to develop their building’s historical narrative and timeline. You can view an example entry of 14 W. Stephenson. Currently, we have three downtown addresses that have completed their entry on theclio.com. More entries will follow.
If you are interested in having your building listed on the tour, please fill out this form on our website or contact me directly.
