Every Story Has a Place
The American Battlefield Trust & HearHere: Telling Stories Together
We have been working with our friends at HearHere on a travel story app highlighting stories from our past. HearHere is an audio entertainment app for travelers available on the App Store for iPhone. The curious road-tripper will find stories and history of the places they are traveling through and to, in a travel podcast format told by storytellers like Kevin Costner and Phil Jackson.
“In the Civil War we lost over half a million [people], and I’m haunted by that... I’m drawn to the battles, I’ll go to Bull Run, Antietam, Chattanooga. I have to.” - Kevin Costner, HearHere Co-Founder
Watch HearHere co-founder Kevin Costner give his take on how the Civil War still resonates to this day.
