What people in Charleston, WV ask first

How much does it cost to visit these sites in Charleston, WV?

Most listed sites can be seen from a public road or sidewalk at no cost, and the app is free to use. Some sites are private homes, working churches or museums with their own hours and fees. The record for each one says what it is, so you know before you go.

Where does the information on these sites come from?

From published records: the National Register of Historic Places, the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark program, and the Georgia Historical Society and Georgia Department of Natural Resources marker program. Every site on the page names its source.

What does a license for Charleston, WV include?

Routes built from every listed site in your area, your branding and stories, badges and challenges, and visitor counts you can report on. Terms are set per organization and area, so there is no single-price page.

Do we have to maintain the site data ourselves?

No. The listed sites come from the published records and are kept current centrally. You add the local stories and the routes you want visitors to follow.

How a visit works in Charleston

Step 1
Find the place
Every stop starts as a pin with real coordinates. In Charleston, WV the map shows what is listed around you and how far each one is, so the first decision is where to go, and it takes a few seconds.
Step 2
Read the story
The record behind each marker is kept whole: what happened there, when, who was involved, and why it was worth a sign. You read it standing where it happened, which is the part a textbook cannot give you.
Step 3
Get there under your own power
Walk it, run it, hike it, ride it or drive it. Stops in Charleston, WV are chained into routes that fit the way you move, so a lunch break, a long run or a Saturday drive can all pass through history.
Step 4
Collect it and come back
Each stop you reach counts toward a badge, and a photo or a correction you send makes the record better for the next person. The map remembers where you have been, so the next trip starts where the last one ended.
