TORRINGTON – Everywhere you turn in this day and age, there are people with their noses buried in their smartphone, tablet or other device.
They’re checking everything from the weather to stock prices to what their friends just got for lunch on social media. And, as they drive across the wide-open spaces of the Cowboy State, they can learn about the history of the cities and towns they pass on their way.
Travel Stories is the brainchild of Jackson-based developer Story Clark. The app, available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play, features audio stories, images and interactive maps, highlighting the communities and points of interest along Wyoming highways.
Several Wyoming communities are already partnered with the app, which is coming to Goshen County. The Goshen County Economic Development Corporation is currently collecting stories and setting up routes for a planned launch of its own Travel Stories site.
The local section will feature stories from 10 sites around the county – each of the local communities and areas of interest in between, such as the Fort Laramie National Historic Site.
“This is great advertising and promotion for the communities,” said Ashley Harpstreith, GCEDC executive director.
