Preservation & Heritage 4Culture are thrilled to announce the launch of a new, themed guide series called Destination Heritage, in partnership with King County Historic Preservation Program. The project promotes countywide heritage tourism through three significant historical themes: Maritime, Agriculture and Industry. These themes are brought to life in visually rich, high-quality brochures, a new interactive website and cell-phone accessed audio recordings for select sites. Audio also available online at Listen4Culture. Funding for this project was made possible by grants from Preserve America and 4Culture, as well as smaller awards from National Trust for Historic Preservation and KCHPP.
The three-themed brochures guide visitors from popular Seattle tourist attractions (such as the Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square), out to an array of lesser-known but equally fascinating heritage sites spread throughout the county. In addition to the brochures a new website was created for the project, Destination Heritage which allows viewers to access information from the brochures and view maps showing all the sites within a theme.
