Historic Harrisville

Audio Walking Tour

For a first-hand experience of Harrisville's rich history and architecture, you can take an audio walking tour, strolling through the village at your leisure, and visiting those sites that most interest you. The tour includes 26 sites, and is divided into 3 loops, each taking about 20 minutes to navigate. The narration by Pamela White provides a wealth of information that will greatly enhance your understanding of village life.
