From the report “Smart phone users in Decatur now can get a historic tours app” on WAFF-TV:
The City of Decatur now has a historic tours application for smart phones/web-enabled mobile devices. It is also viewable from your laptop's wireless connection. The city unveiled walking and driving tours in two historic districts. Old Decatur and Albany boast that they have the largest concentration in the State of Alabama of Victorian-era, craftsman and bungalow homes. City leaders are trying to entice the tourists visiting Decatur to experience all of what the city has to offer. The ultimate goal of the city is to put it on the map as a different kind of destination. "From its rough-edged beginnings to battle scars to preserved beauty that crosses generations, Decatur is rich with history that I think will fascinate you," stated Alabama State Tourism Director and former Old Decatur resident Lee Sentell in the introduction to the tours. The mobile tours applications for Old Decatur and Albany can be accessed from http://www.DecaturAlabamaUSA.com/mobile on a smart phone or mobile device. History will come alive as though being led by an actual tour guide. Each presentation includes narrative with interesting facts about the history of the districts, photos and anecdotal stories about early residents and their homes and businesses. With easy-to-follow maps, the tour takers can start and stop at their own pace.
