Ever been to a new city and wandered around aimlessly, looking at buildings and statues while wondering about their significance? The Florida Stories app, designed by the Florida Humanities nonprofit organization, hopes to help.
The free Florida Stories app launched in 2015 as part of Florida’s 500th year celebration and offers walking tours of our state’s cities and towns accompanied with photos and audio.
“Our first walking tour featured Spanish Colonial Florida in St. Augustine with a plan in mind to develop community walking tours across Florida through our grants program. Our goal was to reach younger, more technically savvy residents and cultural tourists alike. We currently have 36 walking tours, from Pensacola to Key West,” says Lisa Lennox, digital media manager with Florida Stories.
