Well, now you can read all these markers from the comfort of anywhere and at anytime right on your iPhone or iPad. You can view all the markers from each state (all 50 states supported) and read their full inscription as well as view photos of the marker and/or surrounding area. Since there are so many markers, we keep track of which ones you've already read; you can even create a filter to not show those anymore. Each marker also belongs to any number of categories, so if you are only interested in markers related to the Civil War, for example, you can show only those. We allow you to favorite the markers you particularly enjoy. With our app, exploring history has never been more accessible. Dive into the stories behind the markers, uncover hidden narratives, and build your personal collection of favorites. Your next historical adventure is just a tap away!
