What is the T.C. Steele Historic Trail?
The Trail is a progressive web application (PWA) that can be downloaded and used like an app, on both desktop and mobile devices. While a PWA can be used like any regular website, installing it will place it alongside your other favorite apps for convenient access.
The Trail follows a seamless, 300-mile loop along scenic highways that passes multiple historic sites and state parks. It features seven Trail Stops significant to the Steele legacy. Visitors can explore each Trail Stop in person or virtually to learn the history of each location, see related paintings by Steele, get driving directions, and discover nearby attractions. On-site visitors can log in to stamp their digital passports, track their progress on the trail, and earn a Certificate of Completion.
