Northern Kentucky University has launched Newport History Walk, a new App that takes users on a six-stop, self-guided tour of the river city’s history. Users can listen to a short podcast at each stop about the historic site.
The tour includes stops at the following historical sites:
- The Southgate Street School
- The Taylor Mansion and Mansion Hill
- Former Fourth Street School location
- John T. Thompson House
- Newport Flood Wall and the Flood of 1937
- The former Newport Barracks at General James Taylor Park on the Ohio Riverfront.
The Newport History Walk App takes about an hour to complete and can be done all at once or broken up into phases. Those interested can download the App from the iPhone or Android app stores.
