Sensory Supplements

Historic America’s multi-sensory guided tours feature the use of audio/video enhancements & sensory supplements.

See, hear, touch, taste, and smell history! Historic America tours employ an arsenal of historically relevant objects geared toward stimulating our guests’s 5 senses: We call them sensory supplements. Taste space food while visiting the final resting place of an astronaut. Hear the “cricket” WWII paratrooper’s used to identify friendlies behind enemy lines on D-Day. Smell the streets of D.C. when it was just a dirty, backwater town (spoiler alert: not very pleasant). These supplements enhance an already stellar storytelling experience.

Words from our nerds…

History is the story that binds us together as humans. As a storyteller, I get to help people discover their story.
