Historic parade marching through St. Helena.

The St. Helena Chamber and the Napa Valley Creative Agency teamed up on this historical tourism project, using modern AI tools to restore and animate archival photographs from eras where no filmed footage exists. Developed through more than 100 hours of restoration the project offers a rare glimpse into Saint Helena’s history.
