The Problem
Bloomsburg has everything visitors want. They just can't find it.
Families visit for the University. Thousands come for the Fair. And most of them park, see one street, and leave — never finding the trails, the history, or the restaurant three blocks off Main.
Our Solution
One app. One community guide.
Local Lore turns the whole town into a self-guided experience — so visitors stay longer, explore more, and support local businesses while they're at it.
“This county is full of history, and almost none of it is where you'd actually encounter it.”
Why It Matters
Good for the people visiting.
Good for the county.
Built for the way people actually explore.

Start when you want, stop when you want, finish next weekend.
Accessibility comes first
Designed so more people — including seniors, families, and visitors with disabilities — can explore and experience communities at their own pace.
Discover the places locals actually go
The map surfaces the businesses and hidden gems that don't make the tourism guide.
Every tour gives something back to the town.
