The Noland Home---Foyer/ Parlor Introduction --Audio Description
Transcript
Introduction, 1:35 minutes: Welcome to the historic Noland Home audio description tour. This house is part of the greater Harry S Truman National Historic Site and during inclement weather may serve as a staging area for tours of the Truman Home. The exhibits in each room are representative of different periods in Harry Truman’s life. You are listening to this message through the receiver of an antique telephone replica. Four of the rooms in the house have replica phones common to the period depicted in the room. On each phone are pushbuttons arranged in a circular pattern. Building directions and general facility information can be heard on any of the phones by pressing the number 5. On the table in front of the phone is a volume control knob. Please familiarize yourself with the phone and adjust the volume to a comfortable hearing level. When you are ready to begin the tour press 1 for a description of the foyer and wall panel where you entered the home or 2 for a description of the parlor, the room you are now in. Or you may continue to the next tour section — Rooted in Independence — which begins in the room through the doorway immediately to the left as you stand facing this phone. The antique telephone replica you will use for the next room’s description is on a small table and has its receiver resting on a cradle. It is located along the wall straight ahead about 15 feet and on a slight diagonal to the right, on the opposite side of the room from where you will enter.
