Heritage connects us to each other one story at a time. Citizens, Students, and Visitors are seeking authentic experiences. They are also looking for a more comprehensive story.

HeritageEXPLORER is a web-based tool that gives you the ability to collect information about your Heritage Area Assets and Resources, including People, Places, Objects, and Events, and make it available to your Heritage Area partners and the public via your web site. Visitors to your area can begin their journey of exploration through fascinating layers of history and heritage online including:

• Musicians, Performers, Poets, Artists, Folklorists, and Storytellers
• Historic Buildings, Monuments, Sites & Places
• Natural Sites, Scenes, Routes & Trails
• Parks & Outdoor Recreational Facilities
• Cultural Heritage Activities & Events (festivals, fairs, etc.)
• Cultural Sites & Attractions
• Agricultural Sites & Activities

This cost effective and easy to use web-based tool provides the ability to collect information from ANY LOCATION, AT ANY TIME. All you need is access to the web to add, edit, view, print, or share information about your heritage attractions or events with your Heritage Area partners and the public via your web site.

Don't think of it as spending money to maintain or preserve the past, it is an investment in the FUTURE. A cultural heritage inventory can become a driving force to stimulate your local economy and create renewed energy and focus on historic preservation. By inventorying cultural heritage assets, we are not only safeguarding the best of what was placed in our trust, we also stand to gain a better understanding of ourselves and find our place in history. With the HeritageEXPLORER, you can document your area's history, one story at a time.
