Little behind-the-scenes work! Finishing up new Immersive Historic Sites in Amesville, where 3 sites will host a total of 10 (including this one in a production test version) historic photos, you can see with our Invisible Ground app!

New sites in Amesville, the Southeast Ohio History Center, and the Athens Armory are scheduled for early September, along with new podcast episodes.

It's been just about three years (!!) since our first Invisible Ground Immersive Historic Marker debuted at the former location of The Berry Hotel in Athens.

We now have 11 Immersive Historic Markers, with many more in production or early stages of development and several new ones arriving this summer. That app has gotten over 1,250 downloads! Our 16 podcast episodes have gotten over 13,000 listens in 48 states and 59 countries. Most importantly, we have gotten to work with so many incredible collaborators, partners, and organizations around the region. And we are just getting started.

You can support this work by contributing via the Patreon link below or a charitable donation to Invisible Ground through our fiscal agent and exhibition partner, the Southeast Ohio History Center. You can also listen to episodes, download the app, like posts, leave comments, and tell your friends.

Thanks to everyone who has been involved with the project or enjoyed it! Let's do three more years of this and make more cool stuff!

Ohio Humanities has supported Invisible Ground's work since the beginning—they were the first grant we got! Their existence is crucial to many incredible groups, people, and organizations around Ohio. These cuts devastate organizations and projects like mine, ultimately representing only a tiny amount of money in the federal budget.

Please contact your legislators and tell them to reinstate funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and all of the critical things that have been cut.

The Trump administration is slashing the National Endowment for the Humanities. Here's how Ohio is going to be affected.

The National Endowment for the Humanities has supported Invisible Ground's work in the past and was crucial to our Immersive Historic Markers in Rendville, Shawnee, and Nelsonville at Stuart's Opera House.

Please add the cuts at the NEH to the list of things to mention when contacting your elected officials, not to mention others in this project's world, like deep cuts to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

We will continue to do the work we always do here at Invisible Ground. Let me know if you know any individual donors, businesses, or private foundations that would like to support a project like ours. It never hurts to try to ease some of my anxiety for the future.

The National Endowment for the Humanities, which supports museums, scholarship and historical sites, could see grants curtailed and staffing slashed by up to 80 percent.
