• When youre in Arnolds Cove, the app triggers automatically by GPS-location as you pass each house. Voices whisper in your ear, while your smartphone screen fills with photographs and maps and lets you know where you are. 

• If you cant get to Arnolds Cove, you can still hear the stories and explore the visuals by touching the various house locations on your smartphone screen map.

• Includes street maps of the community, and shows the routes houses took as they were floated across the water. Archival photographs and background texts explain how and why this amazing waterborne relocation happened.

• Includes a virtual tour of the Drake Heritage House interior. 

• Using the app is super-simple. Just download it and come for a walk!
