    How did people travel in 19th-century America? In this new hands-on tour you will hear from gold rush emigrants, settlers, soldiers, Indians and European tourists. Examine the travel papers they left behind-maps, advertisements, broadsides, letters home, guidebooks and scrap books-and see where they went and what they saw. About Hands-on Tours: Created especially for visitors who seek an in-depth look at the Rosenbach Museum & Library's collections, Hands-On Tours allow you to get in touch with objects from the collection that are not usually on view to the public.
