Finger Lakes Virtual Museum Mobile App
Explore the history of Ontario County, NY like never before. Imagine an outdoor “museum” accessible at your fingertips from dusk to dawn. Through modern technology of extended reality and QR codes, these stories of Ontario County’s history come to life. Your cell phone is the tool to tie together what happened at various historic sites in the 1600s or 1800s or another time frame.
Museum Experience
Let our resident alpaca friend, FeLiX, changemaker Susan B. Anthony, and others take you back in time. Historic Markers and plaques often share a small snippet of a much larger story to a unique historic event or landmark. Interactive content in the Virtual Museum expands on these and then directs you to where you can visit for even more of the story.
QR Codes are placed at each participating sign location. Just scan the code in the mobile app or with your QR finder and start your journey to learning more!
