Discover History with Clio

Clio – Your Guide to History is an Android app that lets you explore nearby museums, monuments, historical markers, and landmarks. It works similar to other locator apps that help you find nearby places. The app is non-profit and free for everyone, and each entry and walking tour is created by local historians, universities, historic sites, and museums.

With Clio, you can create a walking tour or simply go for a walk or drive and discover nearby historical landmarks, museums, and historical markers near your present location. The app offers over 200+ walking tours that serve as city guides wherever you might travel in the United States. You can enjoy a detour from a road trip and take the next exit to explore history.

Clio offers special accounts for institutions and collegiate instructors so they can create entries with members and students. The app is building a comprehensive, dynamic, and interactive map of American history that reaches each of us where we stand. If you want to help, visit their website or send an email to
