The interactive Hopewell History Map has been updated to display over 100 new property information summaries as you click to view local addresses. It brings together other materials from the History Project site, displaying over 1700 photos of local properties from the Image Gallery, and providing links to now some 100 detailed History Briefs and research reports on local properties.
The History Map runs in any web browser, on computers and mobile devices. It automatically adjusts the panel layout to smaller smartphone screens, to alternate between showing the photo and information panels. When on the go, click the new Current Position button to use GPS to move the map to the area of your current location (or to the center of Hopewell if outside of town, or accurate GPS is not available).
