Projects

visiTOUR, with a grant from the City of Austin Preservation Commission, produced a complete house and grounds tour, including a special on-site only experience of the last remaining slave quarters in the city. As a result, this project helped develop the new “geofencing” and “access code” functions for a tour in the system.

“The Neill-Cochran House Museum is located in the heart of Austin, TX, just a few minutes walk from the UT Austin campus. We steward one of the city’s oldest residences (1856), including Austin’s only intact slave quarters. We share our site, Austin, and Texas history from the city’s birth in 1839 up to 1930 through historically furnished spaces as well as numerous rotating art and history exhibitions.”

visiTOUR is proud to help the City of Fort Worth Texas digitally feature their early-settler restored cottage on the grounds of Trinity Park. 

“We are VERY excited to bring you a virtual tour of our off-site historic building in Trinity Park, the Van Zandt Cottage! While building fragility and other constraints dictate that physical tours be limited, you can now ‘visit’ the Cottage 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Many thanks to visiTOUR.US for such a spectacular way to interact with history!!!”

“The Antique Boat Museum’s collections hold over 320 unique boats and thousands of related artifacts and archives.”

This project used the visiTOUR.US Unified System to create a single-stop view of the paddlecraft exhibition in the Pauline Morgan Dodge Gallery, fully visible with touch spots for each of the craft for more information using a touch-screen monitor as a kiosk. Edits happen over the web so the information is always current. Images and content provided by RedStraw Media making this visiTOUR’s first true DIY project!

“Originally a 17th century farm house, Lea Hurst was developed into a country home on the orders of Florence Nightingale’s father, William Nightingale, in 1820-21.

It had 15 bedrooms – large by most people’s standards, but not by those of the wealthy gentry and aristocracy, with their large families, retinues of servants, and ostentatious socialising. By their standards, it was a modest, peaceful place, built from local grey stone, and not a statement of conspicuous wealth or social influence.”

The John Jay French Museum demonstrates the life of a prosperous Texas pioneer family from 1845-1865. The historic pioneer settlement, built by John Jay French, tanner and merchant, is furnished with antique furnishings, clothing, and pioneer household utensils from the period. Outbuildings on the grounds include a blacksmith shop, tannery, privy, and smokehouse.

The Chambers House is listed as a local historical landmark. Built in 1907 by a local lumberman, the home was sold to the Chambers family in 1914. C. Homer and Edith Fuller Chambers moved into the home with their two young daughters, Ruth, 11 and Florence, 16 months old. The house was remodeled extensively in 1924, and never changed or modernized again. Members of this family occupied and cherished this home for the rest of their lives. Nearly 90 years of family possessions were found in the home upon Florence Chambers’ death in 2004, many dating to the time of the 1924 remodel.
