  2. 5/5Great App

  3. 3/5Good information but limited functionality

    The best thing about this app is the writing- detailed and engaging. At the same time, the app itself is very limited and so this isn’t much different than the state’s online encyclopedia with articles pinned to a map.

  4. 5/5Great way to find local history!

    I found this app to be extremely useful in finding local history surrounding a theme or topic. The content uses the state's historical marker program as the framework but contextualizes the place with rich scholarship and historical collections. KHS is always adding new content and tours. This app is a must have if your touring the Commonwealth!

  5. 5/5Historical Markers in the palm of your hand

    An easy way to find Historical Markers by theme. Easily accessible. It's also nice to have images connected to the Marker text.
