Crossroads: North Summit

A STQRY-powered driving tour of Utah’s historic North Summit, the Crossroads: North Summit app is due to the incredible work of sixteen North Summit students who worked through the summer to learn for themselves what life was like back in the day. 

Crossroads: North Summit

Convening at the Summit County courthouse, the students sifted through historical records, photographs, and museum artifacts, unearthing hidden stories of their community's past. They brought their findings and a microphone around town, interviewing local legends to learn more about their town's history. Their tales and truths uncovered are now available in the app with location-triggered videos, current and historic photos, community-led audio, and more.
