Historic Tours of America finds its roots during the early 1970s in the partners’ shared passion for historic buildings. Our original partnership was formed to accomplish the renovation and restoration of buildings in the Key West, Florida historic district along now famous Duval Street.
To transport retail customers to the restoration area along the city’s main street, the partners bought a company called Old Town Trolley Tours which consisted of two cut down bread trucks pulling a boat trailer with a metal awning roof and a plywood floor to which garden bench seats were attached. This was our start in the Transportainment business.
