Tour Overview

An informative, 9-stop driving tour you can use to explore historic Aurora!

Hello!
This tour was created by the Archaeological Research Institute (based in Lawrenceburg, IN). It is both a template and experiment, created in pursuit of the Indiana Humanities Preservation Education Grant. The goals of this project include: to connect with the local community and increase awareness of culturally and historically significant sites in Dearborn County, to present Dearborn County AS a culturally and historically significant place, to give users a spatial sense of relationships between sites and across time, to encourage tourism and visits to Dearborn County historical sites, and to incentivize preservation and conservation of historic and prehistoric sites in the area through education, increased foot traffic, and economic growth.
We hope you find this tour useful and informative!
