A Cell Phone Tour of the Independence Area

When we toured the home of "Stonewall" Jackson we were able to use our cell phone, dial up a number, and punch in certain numbers to create an audio self-guided tour of his gardens.  Same thing here.  Notice the oval on the top right-hand corner of the plaque.  You can do it right now from home: 267-519-4295 for Independence Hall and nearby.  Then punch in numbers 1 through 20.  How great is that for kids studying the American Revolution?  How great is that for history buffs like ME!!  How great is that for people who get on site five minutes after the tour guide has left?
