Case Study: Old Pine Conservancy engages students and preserves historic tour knowledge with STQRY

How Old Pine Conservancy Drives Student Visits to Its Historic Graveyard with STQRY

Old Pine Conservancy, a historical preservation organization, faced the challenge of sharing the rich history of its Philadelphia graveyard after the passing of its primary tour guide. With a shortage of docents, they needed a way to make their stories accessible to visitors, especially students, without requiring constant staff presence. They partnered with vendor STQRY to create a mobile app to address this.

The solution from STQRY was a mobile tour guide app featuring audio content, GPS, and multi-language support. This allowed the Conservancy to digitally preserve their historical knowledge and offer self-guided tours. A key result was the development of a free, curriculum-aligned tour for students, which helped drive educational field trips to the site. The STQRY platform provided the tools to make the graveyard a vibrant educational resource and bolster their preservation efforts.
