A mobile version of the Keweenaw Time Traveler is finally here!

A walk in the Copper Country, especially with fall arriving, can be a beautiful experience. It can also raise questions about our past. What is this stone foundation I just found in the woods?  Did this trail used to be a railroad? Who can tell me more about this place? ​
The Keweenaw Time Traveler Team has been hard at work developing a new mobile version that helps you explore those questions. It brings the upgraded interface released for the desktop in June 2022 to your smart devices.
When you go out exploring, use the new Keweenaw Time Traveler Mobile Storytelling platform to:
  • Access historical maps of the places you visit
  • Use GPS to see your current location on historical maps
  • Use the transparency slider to see how your location has changed over time
  • Explore stories, memories, and information shared by other users
  • Share your own experiences!

Maps and Stories are the focus of the mobile version. You will see orange “Story” points, which are histories, memories, photographs, videos and more, shared by fellow Time Travelers. We hope these stories can help answer questions about the changing Keweenaw landscape and spark some of your own ideas. From your location on the trail or the sidewalk, select the “Share a Story” button to open an easy dialog box. Then, use pictures, audio, video as well as text live from your phone to create your own “Story” point. Sharing your knowledge, perspective, and experiences makes the Time Traveler even better for everyone!
Be sure to visit the Keweenaw Time Traveler desktop version at www.keweenawhistory.com to access mapped historical data from the Federal Census, city directories, school records, and more. ​
We are proud to share the Keweenaw Time Traveler Mobile Storytelling platform app with you. Enjoy exploring, learning, and sharing your perspectives with the community near and far!
We look forward to the stories and memories you share with us as you travel through the beautiful Copper Country we call home.
