 Our Walking Tours
We have won a grant to develop a historic
and educational walking tour through Salem. You will
be able to follow along in Mr. Zac's footsteps on our
"Storyline" as you read our story . Or just pick up
one of our free fliers throughout town with a short
description of the walk and the map. Just follow our
map you can download to your Droid
Phone or follow any device connected to the internet
with a browser. On your Iphone, cellphone, laptop, or
IPad you can follow our tour on Google
Maps. Then follow the map and look for plaques throughout
the town. These plaques will identify historic sites
illustrated in the book. These sites will have original
artwork inside depicting the illustration process of
a children's story from reference photographs to finished
illustrations.
Guided Tours
Tim Maguire at Remember Salem on Essex Street can
offer you guided tours on foot or on City-side Trolley. This is just
one of the many tours he has waiting for you.
The Future of our Tour
In time we will be using augmented reality to depict
our illustrations in headsets. When you look at a
building that is illustrated in our tale, GPS coordinates
will trigger our picture to appear before your eyes.
Look away from the angle that the building was illustrated
the image vanishes and the visors become transparent
once more. Also we will have free access to people
walking the tour on their own to follow the flier
and snap shots of the buildings depicted on the map.
When they do their phone can use an application that
will identify the building, provide its history, and
show how that building was illustrated in the book.
Plus GPS triggered audio are coming soon.
