...Let your 21st century technology,,,

...take you back in time this weekend!




Love historic houses?

Got a SmartPhone?

There’s an app for that!

The Historic Easton SmarTour launches on Heritage Day, Sunday, July 10th.

The SmarTour is a self-guided path through downtown Easton. Start at the Bachmann Publick House (169 Northampton Street) and wander through historic Easton. Among the sites you’ll find are the Frank Lawall mansion, Library Hall, and the Chipman mansion. Don’t forget to stop at my favorite, the Howard Riegel mansion on Spring Garden Street.

A map will be available at the information booths for the Chamber of Commerce and the Main Street Initiative, or they can be printed out at any of the websites listed below. There is a QR code on the map; just point your SmartPhone at the code and you can access an index that has a link to the history of each building.

Come enjoy the past history of Easton this weekend – with a little help from the present!



The Historic Easton SmarTour is a collaborative effort between:

* Laini’s Little Pocket Guides
* Don Spencer
* Local historian Richard F. Hope
* Realtor Ellen Shaughnessy
