Clio and Fairmont State University
Join in with Fairmont State University Geography students as we start on the journey to tell our hometown stories using the CLIO app developed at Marshall University. Named after Clio, one of the nine Muses, the ancient Greek goddesses of music, song, and dance.
Clio is a mobile app and website that connects thousands of people to historic and cultural sites around the United States. Created by Dr. David Trowbridge of Marshall University, Clio is driven by a nationwide network of contributors from communities and institutions—including classes at universities and colleges—who know their history and want to share it with the world. As of December 2019, Clio includes articles for over 30,000 landmarks and 600 complete walking tours. Thanks to the support of donors and supporters, Clio is non-profit and free for everyone.
