The Web of Healing Walking Tour
Audio Companion

This page contains an audio guide for the Web of Healing Walking Tour. The audio guide is meant to accompany the Walking Tour brochure. The audio companion guide can help provide self-guided tour-takers with more detailed information about each site and about places along the tour route that are not mentioned in the brochure.

You can use the guide in two ways. If you wish, you can download the individual audio segments below (or download the complete audio) into your favorite MP3 player and take it with you to play as you take the Walking Tour. Or, if you prefer, you can listen to the guide while taking a virtual tour seated at your computer.

To download a file, right-click (control-click on a Mac) on a link and select: "Save Link As..." (Mozilla / Firefox), "Save Target As..." (IE), or "Download Linked File" (Safari).
