The Army History Trails are coming in Spring 2025!
 
Army History Trails provides users with a multimedia history experience on the precise terrain where a historical event occurred. Each trail represents a military campaign or significant battle in the Revolutionary War.

 
 
 
The trails have multiple segments that are geolocated to specific stopping points and has images of artifacts and artwork from that event, and text from an eyewitness with brief historical context.
