The road remembers.
Now it can tell you.
SummaLore turns official historical markers into stories — narrated hands-free as you drive past them, or explored with a tap. Every story ends with a question: "want to hear the surprising part?"

Drive mode
Markers announce themselves as you approach — a warm spoken story, timed to the road, with zero glances and zero taps. Say yes, and it pulls the next thread.

From the archives
Then-and-now depth — period photographs and original land-grant maps, matched to each place's people and events.
How it works
- Official sources first. Stories are grounded in the public record — every spoken claim traceable to the marker text or an archival source.
- A narrator, not a database. Marker prose is rewritten for the ear — short, warm, and honest — then voiced consistently across every story.
- Always another thread. People, events, and places connect markers to each other, so one stop becomes a trail.
Curious counties, CVBs, and heritage organizations welcome.
