With mixed emotions, this will be my final post for Eau Claire Tours. I decided a few months ago that selling Eau Claire Tours would be the best move going forward. Sales have not been strong enough to offset the time and energy I put into the making and marketing of the tours.

Fortunately, Nick Meyer had George House do some of the tours, and he loved them. Nick then decided to add the tours to his Chippewa River Trolley Company tour line! They have already incorporated the Eau Claire Sports Tour into their trolley tours. Nick was nice enough to invite me along for it's maiden voyage and could not be more happy in the great job they did. For any sports fan out there it really should be on your bucket list.

They will be also be adding the two downtown walking tours and the How Lumber Made the Chippewa Valley tour over the course of the next year . I am sure they will do an excellent job with those tours as well, so be sure to check them all out when they become available!

It has been quite the ride and I am so glad that Nick decided to keep the tours going. Thank you Nick and to everyone that did one of my tours!

Had enough time in the house and don't want to fight the crowds. How about a nostalgic driving tour of Eau Claire's early years as a lumber mecca.

When you are done be sure to stop at the Valley Burger Company for 20% of your first round of drinks, or The Eau Claire Ale House for 1/2 priced appetizers!

We are a Self-Guided Audio Tour Company of Eau Claire's fascinating history.

Eau Claire was a thriving city in the late 1800s and early 1900s, feeding off the city’s early logging boom. During that time the street cars were just one of many niceties the city had that were normally associated with much larger cities.

Learn all about them on The Making of a City: an Eau Claire Story or
the Downtown Eau Claire Historical Walking Tour.

This is the fifth and final post in my series of interesting topics covered in our tours. I hope you enjoyed them!

Eau Claire has a very rich sports history. Besides Gus Dorais, most locals know that Hank Aaron started his professional baseball career here in Eau Claire as well! He is just one of several prominent major leaguers to start their careers at Carson Park. We are also home to many Olympians and have hosted several unique national and international sporting events. Learn all about it and much more on The Eau Claire Sports Driving Tour.

The 1860s would have been an exciting time to live in Eau Claire, with the smell of sawdust in the air and numerous steamboats gliding up and down the Chippewa River. Both downtown walking tours take you to where a steamboat landing used to be so you can easily imagine what it was like to see these beauties over a century ago!

The Grand Avenue bridge was the first bridge in Eau Claire to cross the Chippewa River. The ability to have a bridge that had a span that could turn perpendicular is very impressive! It’s just one of the many fascinating inventions our early settlers came up with that are covered in the tours.

Not only do you hear about these great inventions but there are many historical pictures of them to enjoy, with the Grand Avenue bridge being one of my favorites!
