Distribute short range broadcasting stations throughout the region that broadcast details of their
site's history. Tourists walk around with radio receivers; as they go near a place, they can tune in to it. Different frequencies for
different epochs.

You could build these yourself with a closed-loop tape,
a cheap walkman, and a Mr. Microphone. |

Something similar to this at some places...At a zoo here, you can buy 'zoo keys' that you plug into a gadget at different animals and get information...and a 'house of the future' called Xanadu in Orlando Florida hands out little recievers you hold to your ear, and each room has its own transmitter telling you about the features. |

Here in NZ we have something similar - a tourist
information station, on the same (lowest in our
FM range) frequency throughout the country.
It gives out different information depending on
where you are (over quite large areas though). |

[jutta] showed up and posted this idea, then stuck around and
continued to run the site for the intervening twenty years and odd. |

Sometimes, reading it gives the impression that this idea has been
baked. |

Also, (belated) welcome to the halfbakery! |
