Stories of Resettlement Virtual Walking Tour
About the walk...
The Resettlement Walk is an interactive adventure in sound, an innovative way to explore Arnold's Cove, Newfoundland. As you stroll past houses that were floated from islands in Placentia Bay half a century ago, you'll hear the owners voices telling you how it all happened. 139 families and 103 houses were moved here.
How it works
When you're in Arnold's Cove, the app triggers automatically by GPS-location as you pass each house. Voices whisper in your ear, while your smartphone screen fills with photographs and maps and lets you know where you are.
Can't visit?
If you can't get to Arnold's Cove, you can still hear the stories and explore the visuals by touching the various house locations on your smartphone screen map.
