Take a Walk Down

Memory Lane

Main street provides an opportunity to critically analyze the reconstruction and reproduction of American history. Investigating the semiotic landscape (how spaces represent symbols of cultural meaning) of downtown main street can aid in the understanding of other narratives and through the use of digital technologies, can provide a more immersive and inclusive approach to heritage preservation.

Memory Lane is an augmented reality experience that immerses users into the history and heritage of downtown main street. And its first stop is Romeo, Michigan. Join friends and family on this experience as you walk downtown. Follow the instructions below or find more information on Memory Lane signs throughout Romeo.

To join in on the fun:

1. Download and open the free “ThingLink AR Viewer” app on your mobile device.
2. Type in the code (WkX2ka) or scan the QR code on the informational sign.
3. “Memory Lane Romeo” should pop up on your screen. Click “Start.”
4. Scan the location to find the icons, then click on each icon to learn more about the location.
