If you like digging up the stories of old cities then this self-guided GPS walking tour of downtown Eau Claire is for you!
The city’s story starts as a small but important logging town, which later grew into a cultural powerhouse. In its early years, Eau Claire’s timber industry was huge. This tour transports you back to those early years when the first settlers were putting down roots and the town was developing quickly.
You’ll then trace the city’s development through to the 1930s when it was the cultural and entertainment hub of Wisconsin. Not only will you learn all about Eau Claire’s fascinating history on this tour, but you’ll also hear about some of the city's great local vendors who are offering amazing discounts for those taking the tour.
