July 2, 2024 -In celebration of the Westchester County (New York) Historical Society’s 150th Anniversary, Otocast created a web-based information guide to encourage people to visit and engage with almost 100 historic sites in 32 different Westchester communities.
Learn more about the event, and access the History hunt by visiting the [Historical Society Website](https://westchesterhistory.com/family-history-hunt/)
A snippet ...
Some of Westchester's historical spots have been on the map for centuries. Now, they're on the app.
To mark its 150th anniversary, Westchester County Historical Society is launching a History Hunt app for smartphones or tablets that lists more than 90 sites of local note. The app allows registered users to track their visits and submit proof of their burgeoning local-history knowledge in a contest that runs from July 1 through Sept. 8.
The society bills it as a way for families to connect this summer while learning local history. (Find the app and join the contest at [www.westchesterhistory.com](http://www.westchesterhistory.com/).)
Each historical site has GPS directions, text and audio descriptions, photos, and a challenge to prove the hunter visited the site. Once proof is submitted by a registered history hunter, the site's green marker in the app turns to gray. The app was the brainchild of Ossining based developer Otocast.
