Mobile Muse: Walking Tour of Kennewick

Sep 20, 2010 Kennewick Life

This is pretty darn cool if you ask me: If you’re looking for something to do before the weather gets too cold, why not explore some of downtown Kennewick’s history via Mobile Muse, a tech-based walking tour of Kennewick. If you visit the web site, you can see the 20 historical sites that are included in the tour:

You can even click the map markers for each spot and learn some of the history behind that location — all from the comfort of your living room or office, or wherever you’re online.

But the tour seems best suited for a walk around downtown Kennewick where you can see the sights up close while reading about them on your smartphone. Mobile Muse takes you through the tour, sight-by-sight, offering historical details and images about each stop along the way. Here are a couple screenshots of the smartphone pages:

Mobile Muse is the work of an interactive media class at WSU Tri-Cities. You can learn more about the project’s background in this news article. Or just go straight to www.mobilemuse.org to check it out for yourself!
