RetroTown

Now your visitors can be transported back in time to see exactly how historic buildings, landmarks and landscapes looked in bygone days.

After downloading the free app on their phone, tourists and visitors point their smartphones toward your town’s landmarks and they will instantly see how things looked 50, 75, 100, even 150 years ago. The app uses actual historical photographs and overlays the photos on top of the historical landmarks. Descriptions are also included. Everyone can see the before, and after, in real time.

This is the perfect way to present and promote your community’s most important historical elements and points of interest. Your visitors will never be lost or wondering where they are or what they’re looking at.

Visitors can begin using the RetroTown app immediately when they arrive in town. They will know exactly where they are, what they are looking at, and to how find the most interesting and helpful locations. You can even add business and commercial spots like restaurants, retail and service stops along the historic pathway you create.

RetroTown is perfect way for you to promote your town and is ideal for chambers of commerce, business associations, historical societies, local governments, tourist and visitor agencies, private tour companies, and educational institutions — any organization or municipality that strives to enhance the visitor experience.

Fun and educational, RetroTown will change everything about how heritage tourism is presented. Now, with the latest technology, your visitors can have their “ah ha” moment as they see and experience the amazing effects of augmented reality. It’s like bringing your museum to the street. Visitors can now go to your most significant landmarks, hold their phones up, and instantly see how things looked decades ago and how history has changed, altered or preserved the location.

Simply, RetroTown provides your visitors and tourists an incredible bridge between yesterday and today — deepening their understanding, and appreciation, for your local history.
