Published 4:00 pm Monday, February 28, 2011

Travelers to the historic regions of Astoria and Warrenton can feel like locals with two new downloadable audio tours highlighting popular historic attractions and movie scene locations. Narrated by local experts who reveal little-known facts and help visitors relive past eras, the free tours were produced by and are available through the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce.

Astoria and Warrentons Historical Attractions tour features 21 locations around the community with historical significance, including the Flavel House, the Astoria Column and Fort Clatsop.

The Reel Astoria tour includes 12 destinations featured in major motion pictures, most famously the cult classic The Goonies, about to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2010.

The two audio tours are available for no cost at www.OldOregon.com and can be used on iPods or burned onto CDs. A short video preview of the tours can be viewed online.

Corresponding maps for each tour are available at www.OldOregon.com, highlighting the layout of the featured attractions.

 Printed maps and tour CDs are also available at the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce at 111 W. Marine Drive in Astoria. A $1 donation is requested to help offset costs.
