Featherstone Heritage Trails app for iPhone and iPad

Featherstone is steeped in history. Some of it is still visible for those who care to look. The rest is in stories and this town has been blessed to have generations of storytellers who have kept its legacy alive.

This location-aware app takes a scholarly but light touch glimpse at a thousand years of our towns history through its buildings, characters and incidents. Discover some of those tales in the text, audio and images within this app.

Somewhere along the apps trails you will find the entrepreneur who opened the worlds biggest department store, our towns first woman driver, the lady who was the last living eye witness to the day the soldiers came to shoot the striking miners and the man who had his portrait painted by Rembrandt. Ever wondered who was the first person to be buried in Featherstone cemetery, or in what year residents of this town first saw an aeroplane fly over their houses? Its all here and much more.

Dont forget to check-in at each place of interest and if you complete the quiz you can claim a prize!

This app makes use of GPS to show you places of interest close to your curent location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
