sustain our people.

This guided augmented reality (AR) tour takes participants through key moments in the life of Captain André Cailloux — a formerly enslaved man who became one of the first Black officers in the Union Army during the Civil War. Led by an official tour guide, guests move through historically significant spaces while using their mobile devices to access compelling AR visuals and soundscapes that deepen the story. The experience culminates in a powerful one-man theatrical performance followed by an in-character Q&A.
