- Students use global positioning systems (GPS) to map geographical locations of their county’s historical markers.

- Students work together with local historians and other community members to learn the stories behind the markers.

The data include the location, text, and pictures for each marker. All information and images are submitted. These are compiled for inclusion in the interactive web map database and reported to the USGS and Kentucky Historical Society.

This assists in updating the official databases and the interctive web map database makes all of the information about Kentucky’s history available so all members of the public can explore Kentucky’s rich history.
