1st "Online Walking Tour" of Napa Now Available

Napa County Landmarks' is producing a series of online walking tours.

Want to play tourist in your own backyard? A new way to use your smart phone or iPad to experience Napa County's historical landmarks is now available.

The first in a new series of online walking tours of Napa County has just been released.

"Main Street Walking Tour," is now available for $1.99 from Napa County Landmarks.

The tour features 15 locations and includes a map, fascinating trivia, and rarely-seen historic photos. 

Drawing on the rich collection of the Napa County Historical Society, this one-of-a-kind tour is designed to appeal to visitors and long-time residents alike.  Each tour is designed to take less than one hour.

“Not a day goes by that we don’t have a request for our walking tours,” said Stephen Cuddy, Landmarks’ Board President.

 “We have worked for the past two years to develop an online app designed to appeal to all those interested in ferreting out Napa’s architectural landmarks and historic gems," he added.

"We are proud to build on our long-standing tradition of celebrating and preserving our landmarks by offering these tours in a 21st century online application, available anytime,” Cuddy said.
