Saratoga National Historical Park Launches Mobile App

May 5, 2015 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

OnCell-NPS-App-Design-Site-PageSaratoga National Historical Park has announced the launch of its new mobile app for smart phones and tablets.  Starting April 2015, visitors using these portable computing devices will be able to use this app to enhance their park touring experience.

The app features content for over 30 points of interest, including images and an audio tour of the battlefield created by the Friends of Saratoga Battlefield. Visitors can also listen to a new Wilkinson Trail Hiking Tour, an immersive soundscape with two distinct tours, one for adults and a student-narrated one for children. The Wilkinson Trail tours were created by park rangers, volunteers, and students. Visitors can also discover points of interest with location-aware alerts and GPS-enabled maps.

Visitors wishing to access the app prior to their park visit may use their mobile device’s web browser to go to http://SARA.toursphere.com and save the site to their homescreen for later use.

For more information call the Visitor Center at 518-670-2985 or check our website at www.nps.gov/sara or our social media feeds, Facebook: @SaratogaNHP  or Twitter: #SaratogaNHP
