Note for Mobile Users: When you click "Start Tour" it may take a few seconds for the points of interest to appear on the map as your phone's GPS determines your location.

This tour technically begins at the Visitors Center at 134 State Street and ends farther up this same street near the Capitol Plaza Hotel, but if you are somewhere else along the street, you can really start anywhere, although you might want to begin with the Historical Overview.

Navigation: you can open the description of each point of interest by clicking the numbers on the map, or you may find it easier to scroll farther down this screen and select the points from the list. If choosing that method, just hit the < icon at the top of the screen to return to the list.
