Sound Tracks is an audio tour unlike any you have experienced. It's a tour of what you see along the road today and of  Route 550 as it once was. You travel along one of the earliest routes in Ohio - Route 550 from Athens to Marietta, and as you drive you can LISTEN to its history.

Local residents give you a first hand account of the area's history as Cultural Geographer Hubert Wilhelm discusses the architecture along the route.

To download the tour to your MP3 Player or iPod just right click on the MP3 icon and select "save target as". Move the file to your computer and then to your portable audio player.
