How to take this self-guided tour

To take the audio tour, walk through Historic Downtown Torrington and use the QR (quick response)  code reader on your smart phone to access the audio recordings for each historic building.  The QR codes are located on 8 x 10 inch signs attached to each building on the tour or on sign posts near the sidewalk in front of  featured sites. 

If you do not have a code reader app on your smart phone you can go directly to the audio tour website for a list of featured sites. Touch the building name to open the page for that building. Press the play arrow to begin the audio. 
 
Although the tour can be started at any of the 21 features attractions, it has been designed to begin with the Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum at 192 Main Street where free parking is available.
