A Weekend in Old Monmouth is an annual two-day event when 50 of the Monmouth County history sites open their doors to visitors and waive their admission fees. A Weekend in Old Monmouth is a self-guided tour.
A Weekend in Old Monmouth is also available online. A virtual tour has been created to present all 50 tour locations in a linear, place-based narrative with photos. To use the virtual tour, go to http://bit.ly/2019WOM.
Each tour site is now a "story point" on an interactive map using geo-location technology. You can click sequentially through the narrative, or you can browse one of the tour routes by interacting with the map. The tour may be viewed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Visiting the multiple pages within the virtual tour will help you to learn more about each of the tour routes and clicking-on each point will reveal more about the specific historic sites.
The Monmouth County Division of Planning used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to generate the Story Map for the 2019 Weekend in Old Monmouth. |
