Augmented Reality Trail

See the Guard Site as it was 1000 years ago with the magic of Augmented Reality! With the help of an iPad, you can step foot in the River of Time and literally see the village around you. Rivers are constantly flowing. When you step into a river, you are connected to all the river shores, twists, and bends at once. When you step into our River of Time, you are connected to the past, present, and future of the Guard archaeological site. Explore three different trails winding through a 1000-year-old village and imagine the houses, people, and stories that surround you. Learn about what came before the village, and what happened after. Discover the natural environment that has persisted throughout. Enjoy birdwatching, native prairie plants, an ancient cultivates garden, and the numerous species of animals that take refuge along the trails. Visitors to the AR tour will have the chance to set foot in ancient homes, watch the village smoke billow into the sky, and see what made a town a thousand years ago.
