Win a Mug in the Mug Season Challenge!

Mud season is MUG season! And we are running the Mug Season Challenge! Here in the Keweenaw, it's still snowing but the spring sunshine creates too much icy crust for good skiing and snowshoeing. And soon enough we'll have nothing but MUD! So if you're looking for an indoor activity to tide you over until hiking, biking, and boating begin, try being a Citizen Historian with the Keweenaw Time Traveler. If you top off the classifications in one year's map, let us know and we will send you a mug as a thank you. Here's how it works:

We have three apps that ask you — Citizen Historians volunteering from home — to collect information from historic fire insurance maps. You can choose your activity: Document Building Materials, Document Building Use, or Transcribe the Maps. To learn more, check out our blog post from September or watch our how-to videos on YouTube.

NOTE: Sometimes, the counter will get to 99% and stop. That means that a few building parts can't be classified. That's OK! If you get to that point, you can call it done and submit your name to us.

Send us a screen shot of the counter or just contact us. You can send an email to the contact link below or to info@keweenawhistory.com. Or you can let everyone know by posting to our Facebook page. 
Right now, we are asking you to finish documenting building materials on the Quincy 1942 map. Users like you have completed 36%. Let's work together to get to 100%! ​If you get the counter in the lower left to read 100%, send us a screen shot and we'll send you a Citizen Historian mug!

If Citizen Historians like you finish Quincy 1942, we will run another contest. So keep checking back for new Mug Season Challenges! Also you can track overall Citizen Historians' progress here. Thanks for helping to make the Keweenaw Time Traveler even better. Happy Mapping!
