On This Spot
|
Explore Parry Sound's history in this interactive app created by On This Spot!
Users who download the app will be able to view over 100 historical photos of Parry Sound and compare them to carefully restaged photos from the same perspective today. Using the in-app camera they can create their own then and now photos, allowing them to effectively superimpose themselves into historic photos of Parry Sound. Four walking tours will give unparalleled access to an enormous depth of local history.
The app's Parry Sound coverage launched June 8, 2018 to coincide with the beginning of the tourist season. The Parry Sound coverage was made possible through support from the Downtown Parry Sound Business Association, the Town of Parry Sound, the Museum on Tower Hill, and the Bayside Inn. |
|
The historical photographs, which come from the collections of the Museum on Tower Hill and the private collection of Mike Morden, a local history enthusiast, date from the 1850s to the 1970s. The four walking tours examine different themes running through Parry Sound's history, including pioneer life in the 19th Century, Parry Sound's industrial history, tourism and steamships, and views from Tower Hill. They include many of Parry Sound's historic landmarks.
Parry Sound is available in the On This Spot app alongside a growing list of Canadian cities including Vancouver, Winnipeg and Aurora. The app is free to download on Android and Apple smartphones and tablets. Download links can be found at www.onthisspot.ca. Sample then-and-now images can be found at www.onthisspot.ca/parrysound and selections can be made exclusively available to any media outlets seeking graphics. |
